Lily Tomlin
Why isn't there a special name for the tops of your feet?
Lily Tomlin
If I had known what it would be like to have it all - I might have been willing to settle for less.
Lily Tomlin
The whole idea of being in captivity in such limited space, especially in a zoo, causes elephants to suffer. They develop all kinds of foot diseases. They die. They get cysts. Not only is it painful, it eventually kills them.
Lily Tomlin
The start to a better world is the belief that it is possible.
