“[I]n Africa I was a member of a family—of a sort of family that the people of your culture haven't known for thousands of years. If gorillas were capable of such an expression, they would tell you that their family is like a hand, of which they are the fingers. They are fully aware of being a family but are very little aware of being individuals. Here in the zoo there were other gorillas—but there was no family. Five severed fingers do not make a hand.”

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”

“أيها السيد الكريم، ليس الفقر رذيلة، ولا الإدمان على السكر فضيلة، أنا أعرف ذلك أيضا. ولكن البؤس رذيلة أيها السيد الكريم، البؤس رذيلة. يستطيع المرء في الفقر أن يظل محافظا على نبل عواطفه الفطرية، أما في البؤس فلا يستطيع ذلك يوما، وما من أحد يستطيعه قط. إذا كنت في البؤس فإنك لا تطرد من مجتمع البشر ضربا بالعصا، بل تطرد منه ضربا بالمكنسة بغية إذلالك مزيد من الإذلال. والناس على حق في ذلة لأنك في البؤس أول من يريد هذا الذل لنفسه بنفسه”
