I guess I'm just an old mad scientist at bottom. Give me an underground laboratory, half a dozen atom smashers, and a beautiful girl in a diaphanous veil waiting to be turned into a chimpanzee, and I care not who writes the nation's laws.
s. j. perelmanTo watch him fumbling with our rich and delicate English language is like seeing a Se' vres vase in the hands of a chimpanzee.

s. j. perelmanThe gods that we've made are exactly the gods you'd expect to be made by a species that's about half a chromosome? away from being chimpanzee.
christopher hitchensDuring a debate with Farrell Till, Hovind made the following claim about Donald Johanson: " [He] found the leg bones of Lucy a mile and a half away from the head bones. The leg bones were 200 feet deeper in a deeper layer of strata. I would like to know how fast the train was going that hit that chimpanzee ."

jane goodallI do not want to discuss evolution in such depth, however, only touch on it from my own perspective: from the moment when I stood on the Serengeti plains holding the fossilized bones of ancient creatures in my hands to the moment when, staring into the eyes of a chimpanzee, I saw a thinking, reasoning personality looking back. You may not believe in evolution, and that is all right. How we humans came to be the way we are is far less important than how we should act now to get out of the mess we have made for ourselves.
jane goodallThere is thus a certain plausibility to Nietzsche's doctrine, though it is dynamite. He maintains in effect that the gulf separating Plato from the average man is greater than the cleft between the average man and a chimpanzee.
walter kaufmannActually, the gap between say Plato or Nietzsche and the average human is greater than the gap between that chimpanzee and the average human.
So far as cerebral structure goes... it is clear that Man differs less from the chimpanzee or the Orang, than these do even from the Monkeys, and that the difference between the brains of the chimpanzee and of Man is almost insignificant, when compared with that between the chimpanzee brain and that of a Lemur.
thomas henry huxleyChildren, behold the chimpanzee; He sits on the ancestral tree From which we sprang in ages gone. I'm glad we sprang: had we held on, We might, for aught that I can say, Be horrid Chimpanzees to-day.
