Famous quotes containing the words friends and/or zoo:
“No expectation fails there,
No pleasing habit ends,
No man grows old, no girl grows cold,
But friends walk by friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The zoo cannot but disappoint. The public purpose of zoos is to offer visitors the opportunity of looking at animals. Yet nowhere in a zoo can a stranger encounter the look of an animal. At the most, the animal’s gaze flickers and passes on. They look sideways. They look blindly beyond.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
