Gerald Durrell Quotes:
Ocupation: Zookeeper
Life: January 7, 1925 - January 30, 1995
Birthday: January 7
Death: January 30
Each day had a tranquility a timelessness about it so that you wished it would never end. But then the dark skin of the night would peel off and there would be a fresh day waiting for us glossy and colorful as a child's transfer and with the same tinge of unreality.
