711_Zoo
Today's topic is Zoo.
"Despite all their flaws, zoos wake us up. They invite us to step outside our most basic assumptions. Offered for our contemplation, the animals remind us of nature’s impossibly varied schemes for survival, all the strategies that species rely upon for courtship and mating and protecting the young and establishing dominance and hunting for something to eat and avoiding being eaten. On a good day, zoos shake people into recognizing the manifold possibilities of existence, what it’s like to walk across the Earth, or swim in its oceans of fly above its forests—even though most animals on display will never have the chance to do any of those things again, at least not in the wild."
~ Thomas French, Zoo Story: Life in the Garden of Captives
"Zoo: An excellent place to study the habits of human beings."
~ Evan Esar
"Someone told me it's all happening at the zoo."
~ Paul Simon
"The city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo."
~ Desmond Morris

~ Bai Ling
"The snow leopard is absolutely magnificent. It represents really what endangered species are all about."
~ Jack Hanna
"Leopards don't change their spots."
~ Anna Jacobs, Beyond The Sunset

~ 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

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
~ Khalil Gibran
O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil.
~ William Shakespeare
No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.
~ Helen Keller
Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.

699_Egg
Today's topic is Egg.
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

One of the smartest things you can do on 'Chopped' is to take one of those ingredients and make a pickle out of it, because almost every dish benefits from that. I'm feeling like those intuitions are becoming more natural.

What a blessing that God allows a life to come through your body, and then allows you to place that body in a body bag and take it out. I had to say that there's a magnificent something that God has for me to do, to give me that level of completion. That level of experience. It's unspeakable.

Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.
