Monkeys

"Taken in its deepest sense, the shadow is the invisible saurian tail that man still drags behind him. Carefully amputated, it becomes the healing serpent of the mysteries. Only monkeys parade with it." - Carl Jung, Psychological Reflections, p. 243, pub. A.D. 1953

"He who undertakes to guide men must never lose sight of the fact that they are malicious monkeys." - Anatole France, 1844-1924

"We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special." - Stephen Hawking, Der Spiegel, 1989

"The surest way to make a monkey out of a man is to quote him." - Robert Benchly
