Climbing Monkey

Famous quotes containing the words climbing and/or monkey:

“There is, however, this consolation to the most way-worn traveler, upon the dustiest road, that the path his feet describe is so perfectly symbolical of human life,—now climbing the hills, now descending into the vales. From the summits he beholds the heavens and the horizon, from the vales he looks up to the heights again. He is treading his old lessons still, and though he may be very weary and travel-worn, it is yet sincere experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“That’s what I always say. Love flies out the door when money comes innuendo.”
—Arthur Sheerman, U.S. screenwriter. Norman McLeod. Monkey Business (film)
