Desmond Morris Quotes

No matter how old we become, we can still call them ‘Holy Mother’ and ‘Father’ and put a child-like trust in them Picture Quote #1
People who keep dogs live longer on average than those who do not. This is not some kind of pro-canine campaigning fantasy. It is a simple medical fact that the calming influence of the company of a friendly pet animal reduces blood pressure and therefore the risk of heart attack Picture Quote #1
A true bond of friendship is usually only possible between people of roughly equal status. This equality is demonstrated in many indirect ways, but it is reinforced in face-to-face encounters by a matching of the posture of relaxation or alertness Picture Quote #1
The idea that it is funny to see wild animals coerced into acting like clumsy humans, or thrilling to see powerful beasts reduced to cringing cowards by a whip-cracking trainer is primitive and medieval. It stems from the old idea that we are superior to other species and have the right to hold dominion over them Picture Quote #1
There is nothing biologically unusual about a homosexual act of pseudocopulation. Many species indulge in this, under a variety of circumstances Picture Quote #1
There are one hundred and ninety-three living species of monkeys and apes. One hundred and ninety-two of them are covered with hair. The exception is a naked ape self-named Homo sapiens. The zoologist now has to start making comparisons. Where else is nudity at a premium Picture Quote #1

Life is like a very short visit to a toyshop between birth and death Picture Quote #1
Clearly, then, the city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo Picture Quote #1
Artists like cats; soldiers like dogs Picture Quote #1

Biologically speaking, if something bites you it’s more likely to be female Picture Quote #1
I viewed my fellow man not as a fallen angel, but as a risen ape Picture Quote #1
The city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo Picture Quote #1
The female covers her breasts, and then proceeds to redefine their shape with a brassiere. This sexual signaling device may be padded or inflatable, so that it not only reinstates the concealed shape, but also enlarges it, imitating in this way the breast swelling that occurs during sexual arousal Picture Quote #1
This unusual and highly successful species spends a great deal of time examining his higher motives and an equal amount of time ignoring his fundamental ones Picture Quote #1
We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species Picture Quote #1

Under crowded conditions the friendly social interactions between members of a group become reduced, and the destructive and aggressive patterns show a marked rise in frequency and intensity Picture Quote #1
We must never stop investigating... Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species Picture Quote #1
It is interesting that amongst children of preschool age, the more intelligent ones tend to sleep less than the dull ones. After the age of seven this relationship is reversed, the more intelligent schoolchildren sleeping more than the dull ones Picture Quote #1
We are to put it mildly, in a mess, and there is a strong chance that we shall have exterminated ourselves by the end of the century. Our only consolation will be that as a species, we have had an exciting term of office Picture Quote #1
As long as the human race is able to concern itself with more than mere survival, soccer will have its place Picture Quote #1
Aquatic animals suffer from the disadvantage that they cannot scream when in pain, so we find it hard to gauge the degree of their agony. If fish could scream, angling purely for sport would be outlawed without delay Picture Quote #1

The age of a child is inversely correlated with the size of the animals it prefers Picture Quote #1
We may prefer to think of ourselves as fallen angels, but in reality we are rising apes Picture Quote #1
I think like the species I am studying, whatever it is. If I am watching a lizard, I become the lizard. Gazing ath the water at a pike, I become the pike Picture Quote #1
Looking back now on the whole sexual scene we can see that our species has remained much more loyal to its basic biological urges than we might at first imagine. Its primate sexual system with carnivore modifications has survived all the fantastic technological advances remarkably well Picture Quote #1
The response of teenagers to their idols is relevant. As an audience, they enjoy themselves, not by screaming with laughter, but screaming with screams Picture Quote #1
