Monkey Quotes (page 4)

The higher that the monkey can climb, the more he shows his tail. Call no man happy till he dies, there's no milk at the bottom of the pail. God builds a church and the devil builds a chapel, like the thistles that are growing 'round the trunk of a tree. All the good in the world you could put inside a thimble, and still have room for you and me. If there's one thing you can say about mankind, there's nothing kind about man. You can drive out nature with a pitchfork, but it always coming... Tom Waits
Oprah, for instance, still can't get past the n-word issue (or the nigga issue, with all apologies to Ms. Winfrey). I can respect her position. To her, it's a matter of acknowledging the deep and painful history of the word. To me, it's just a word, a word whose power is owned by the user and his or her intention. People give words power, so banning a word is futile, really. "Nigga" becomes "porch monkey" becomes "coon" and so on if that's what in a person's heart. The key is to change the... Jay-Z
...Anand, look at the back of my hands. No hair. The sign of an advanced race, boy. And look at yours. No hair either. But you never know. With some of your mother's bad blood flowing in your veins you could wake up one morning and find yourself hairy like a monkey V. S. Naipaul
Your own space, man, it's so important. That's why we were doomed because we didn't have any. It is like monkeys in a zoo. They die. You know, everything needs to be left alone. George Harrison
Terry McMillan quote: "Look, as my mama always said, 'One monkey don't stop no show."
Look, as my mama always said, 'One monkey don't stop no show. Terry McMillan
In times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings--artists, scientists, clowns and philosophers--to create order. In times such as ours, however, when there is too much order, too much management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relive the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption. Tom Robbins
As for monkeys, I would have five, and they would be named: See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, Do Pretty Much Whatever The Hell You Want, and Expensive Attorney. Tad Williams
Charles Darwin quote: "An American monkey, after getting drunk on brandy, would ever..."
An American monkey, after getting drunk on brandy, would ever touch it again, and thus is much wiser than most men. Charles Darwin
Peter Matthiessen quote: "We have outsmarted ourselves, like greedy monkeys, and now we..."
We have outsmarted ourselves, like greedy monkeys, and now we are full of dread. Peter Matthiessen
Buster Keaton quote: "Silence is of the gods; only monkeys chatter."
Silence is of the gods; only monkeys chatter. Buster Keaton
It's so quiet this high up, the feeling you get is that you're one of those space monkeys. You do the little job you're trained to do. Pull a lever. Push a button. You don't understand any of it, and then you just die. Chuck Palahniuk
John Steinbeck quote: "Are cats strange animals or do they so resemble us that we..."
Are cats strange animals or do they so resemble us that we find them curious as we do monkeys? John Steinbeck
Tom Waits quote: "We are all just monkeys with money and guns."
We are all just monkeys with money and guns. Tom Waits
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Without pain, without sacrifice we would have nothing. Like..."
Without pain, without sacrifice we would have nothing. Like the first monkey shot into space. Chuck Palahniuk
I have graded my separate works from A to D. The grades I hand out to myself do not place me in literary history. I am comparing myself with myself. Thus can I give myself an A-plus for Cat’s Crade, while knowing that there was a writer named William Shakespeare. The report card is chronological, so you can plot my rise and fall on graph paper, if you like: Player Piano B The Sirens of Titan A Mother Night A Cat’s Cradle A-plus God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater A Slaughterhouse-Five... Kurt Vonnegut
