“I have this notion that maybe this world is the hell of the angels. That maybe we're creatures with angels exiled in our souls, banished to this godawful existence, howling in despair...and all those beautiful dreams we have are only the ravings of those angels, their screams in our animal minds.”

“But the one thing all of the people in the Ape Yard had in common was that they were trapped, caught in that basin of poverty and servitude to Doc Bobo in the hollow, and held in place by the weight of the white structure beyond. For them, escape seemed futile at the outset.”

“Love is a thing in your mind. But, " he said, "you get attached to anybody or anything in this world and you're asking for trouble. What if your love happens to be the wrong color, or you get separated for some reason; what if they marry someone else, or they die?
He tapped his skull. "This is where you live, where all the things that matter are stored, where nobody can get at 'em. ...so, they come to take way a love you got--they can't do it, any more'n they can take your good times. It's closed off, safe and warm, and whenever you need it, it's there. It's the only place it ever was anyway”
