Don Murray Quotes

MacDonald But they insist that he fell to his death accidentally.

Breck While trying to escape! He knew he'd been exposed!

Peggy Sue It's funny. It's really funny. You bought an Edsel.

Breck If we lose this battle, that's the end of the world as we know it!! We will have proved ourselves inferior!! Weak!! And all those groveling cowards who are alive, when the battle is over, will be the weakest of all!! This will be the end of human civilization!! And the world will belong to a planet of apes!!

Breck Caesar!

Caesar Your servant, your creature, your animal.

Breck But I saw you die.

Caesar The king is dead. Long live the king! Tell me, Breck, before you die, how do we differ from the dogs and cats you and your kind used to love? Why did you turn us from pets into slaves?

Breck Because your kind were once our ancestors. Man was born of the ape. There's still an ape curled up inside of every man, the beast that must be whipped into submission, the savage that has to be shackled in chains. You are that beast, Caesar. You taint us. You...you poison our guts. When we hate you, we're hating the dark side of ourselves.
