The Legend of Tarzan Quotes
Jane Porter: [explaining to George as the village sings around the campfire]They are singing the legend of Tarzan. For many moons he was thought to be an evil spirit - a ghost in the trees. They speak of his power over the animals of the jungle. Because his spirit came from them. He understood them. And learned to conquer them. His ape mother, Kala, loved him as her own.

You must get to him. Since no man ever started with less.
