"This is Commander Taylor, Astronaut. He has landed in a world where Apes are the rulers and Man the beast. Now he is caged, tortured, risks mutilation. Because no human can remain human on... The Planet of the Apes."

"20th Century Fox Wants You To... Go Ape [1974 re-release]"

"Somewhere in the Universe, there has to be something better than man. Has to be!"

"My earliest version of the script featured an ape city, much like New York. It wasn’t carved out rocks with caves o the side of the hill. It was a metropolis. Everything related to anthropoid. The automobiles, the buildings, the elevators, the rooms, the furniture. The script was very long and I think the estimate on the production people was that if they had shot that script it would’ve cost no less than a hundred million dollars- y’know, by the time they created an ape population, clothed it and built a city for them to live in."

"Don't look for it, Taylor. You may not like what you find."

"[to Taylor] The Forbidden Zone was once a paradise. Your breed made a desert of it, ages ago."

"[to humans] Have you forgotten your scripture, the thirteenth scroll? "And Proteus brought the upright beast into the garden and chained him to a tree and the children did make sport of him.""

"[to humans] You are a menace. A walking pestilence."

"Ah, yes - the young ape with a shovel. I hear you're planning another archeological expedition. Cornelius, a friendly word of warning: as you dig for artifacts, be sure you don't bury your reputation."

"Dr. Zira, I must caution you. Experimental brain surgery on these creatures is one thing, and I'm all in favor of it. But your behavior studies are another matter. To suggest that we can learn anything about the simian nature from a study of man is sheer nonsense. Why, man is a nuisance. He eats up his food supply in the forest, then migrates to our green belts and ravages our crops. The sooner he is exterminated, the better. It's a question of simian survival."

"Man has no understanding. He can be taught a few simple tricks. Nothing more."

"[riding down the beach in the last scene] [shocked] Oh, my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was-- [falls to his knees] We finally really did it. [pounds the sand; angrily] YOU MANIACS!! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! GOD! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!! [camera pans to reveal the half-destroyed Statue of Liberty sticking out of the sand]"

"[to Lucius] In my world, when I left it, only kids your age wore beards."

"Doctor, would an ape make a human doll that talks?"

"Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!"

"A planet where apes evolved from men?"

"You did that to him, damn you! You cut out his memory! You took his identity! And that's what you want to do to me!"

"But they--! [after seeing that Landon has been lobotomized] You did it. You cut up his brain, you bloody baboon!"

"What evidence? There were no weapons in that cave."

"I'm a seeker, too. But my dreams aren't like yours. I can't help thinking that somewhere in the universe there has to be something better than man. Has to be."

"It's a mad house! A MAD HOUSE!!"

"And that completes my final report until we reach touchdown. We're now on full automatic in the hands of the computers. I've tucked my crew in for the long sleep, and I'll be joining them...soon. In less than an hour we'll finish our six months out of Cape Kennedy. Six months in deep space...by our time, that is. According to Dr. Hasslein's theory of time in a vehicle traveling nearly the speed of light, the Earth has aged nearly 700 years since we left it...while we've aged hardly at all. Maybe so. This much is probably true. The men who sent us on this journey are long since dead and gone. You, who are reading me now, are a different breed...I hope a better one. I leave the 20th century with no regrets, but...one more thing, if anybody's listening, that is. Nothing scientific. It's... purely personal. But seen from out here, everything seems different. Time bends. Space is... boundless. It squashes a man's ego. I feel lonely. That's about it. Tell me, though, does man, that marvel of the universe, that glorious paradox who sent me to the stars, still make war against his brother... keep his neighbor's children starving?"

"Imagine me needing someone. Back on Earth I never did. Oh, there were women. Lots of women. Lots of love-making but no love. You see, that was the kind of world we'd made. So I left, because there was no one to hold me there."

"The story of the strangest passion the world has ever known!"

"And after you deliver the message, you will remember nothing, I now say...Obey."

"Lofty timbers, the walls around are bare, echoing to our laughter as though the dead were there... Quaff a cup to the dead already, hooray for the next to die!"

"[after breaking a mirror] Doctor Seward. My humble apology. I dislike mirrors. Van Helsing will explain. For one who has not lived even a single lifetime, you are a wise man, Van Helsing."

"Dracula, he...He came to me. He opened his veins in his arms and he made me drink."

"And just as I was commencing to get drowsy, I heard dogs howling. And when the dream came, it seemed the whole room was filled with mist. It was so thick, I could just see the lamp by the bed, a tiny spark in the fog. And then I saw two red eyes staring at me, and a white livid face came down out of the mist. It came closer and closer. I felt its breath on my face, and then its lips, ohhh, [whimpering]...And then, in the morning, I felt so weak. It seemed as if all the life had been drained out of me."

"A vampire, Mr. Harker, is a being that lives after its death by drinking the blood of the living. It must have blood or it dies. Its power lasts only from sunset to sunrise. During the hours of the day, it must rest in the earth in which it was buried."

"A vampire casts no reflection in the glass. That is why Dracula smashed the mirror...The strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him."

"A moment ago, I stumbled on a most amazing phenomenon...something so incredible, I mistrust my own judgement."
