Famous quotes containing the words doctor and/or zoo:
“When a doctor does go wrong he is the first of criminals. He has nerve and he has knowledge.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“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)
