“The nasty little apes that call themselves human beings can do nothing except run and hide.”

“A nasty letter or a sarcastic one can make you righteously angry, but what can you do about a polite letter of rejection? Nothing, really, except cry.”

“I've gotten into this nasty habit of running away from love, but maybe one day I can find the exception to that.”

Come on, creationists, think about it! Did God hide the human skulls, only leaving behind leg and foot bones belonging to human midgets with misshapen feet, and mix such bones only with the skulls of ape-like creatures with larger cranial capacities than living apes? What a 'kidder' the creationists' God must be.”

“Any ape can reach for a banana, but only humans can reach for the stars.”
