"You know ... they say an elephant never forgets. What they don't tell you is, you never forget an elephant." 

~ Bill Murray

"There is no creature among all the Beasts of the world which hath so great and ample demonstration of the power and wisdom of almighty God as the Elephant."

~ Edward Topsell

"Yes, I could see these enormous elephants, whose trunks were tearing down large boughs, and working in and out the trees like a legion of serpents. I could hear the sounds of the mighty tusks uprooting huge trees!" 

~ Jules Verne

"No other animal has left such a rich and plentiful succession of traces of its prehistoric physical existence over a period of millions of years, nor provided deeper insights into evolutionary processes over the vast span of earth history, as the elephant." 

~ Karl Gröning & Martin Saller

"An elephant looks large, and it is large, but you have no real idea of how large until you are on its back ten feet above ground and can feel the power of it moving beneath you." 

~ Wayne Hepburn
