The Memorable Quotes:

George Taylor: Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!

Julius: You know the saying, "Human see, human do."

George Taylor: I'm a seeker too. But my dreams aren't like yours. I can't help thinking that somewhere in the universe there has to be something better than man; has to be.

Cornelius: Beware the beast man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, for he is the harbinger of death.

George Taylor: Imagine me needing someone. Back on Earth I never did. Oh, there were women. Lots of women. Lots of love-making but no love. You see, that was the kind of world we'd made. So I left, because there was no one to hold me there.

George Taylor: Don't try to follow me. I'm pretty handy with this.
Dr. Zaius: Of that I'm sure. All my life I've awaited your coming and dreaded it.

George Taylor: It's a mad house! A mad house!

George Taylor: Doctor, I'd like to kiss you goodbye.
Zira: All right, but you're so damned ugly.

Dr. Zira: What will he find out there, doctor?
Dr. Zaius: His destiny.

Cornelius: We thought you were inferior.
George Taylor: Now you know better.

George Taylor: A planet where apes evolved from men?
