Maurice Evans Quotes:

Dr. Zaius: You are a menace. A walking pestilence.


Dr. Zaius: The Forbidden Zone was once a paradise. Your breed made a desert of it, ages ago.


Dr. Zaius: 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.
