It's hard to put into words. Gorillas are not complainers. We're dreamers, poets, philosophers, nap takers.

Is there anything sweeter than the touch of another as she pulls a dead bug from your fur?

It's OAT-freaking-MEAL!

Ninety percent of the trouble in this world comes from guys who think they have something to prove.

Growing up gorilla is just like any other kind of growing up. You make mistakes. You play. You learn. You do it all over again.

When I'm drawing a picture, I feel...quiet inside.

You do not know me, but I am a juvenile delinquent. I do not trust authority figures, I probably will not graduate from high school, and statistics say my present rowdiness and vandalism will likely lead to more serious crimes. I am a dangerous fellow, and I am causing mayhem in this store. [...] There. I have now shamelessly destroyed the symmetry of this shelf, undoing hours of labor by underpaid store employees. If you could see me, you would be frightened.
