More quotes by David Attenborough
The fundamental issue is the moral issue.
David Attenborough
The more you go on, the less you need people standing between you and the animal and the camera waving their arms about.
David Attenborough
Dealing with global warming doesn't mean we have all got to suddenly stop breathing. Dealing with global warming means that we have to stop waste, and if you travel for no reason whatsoever, that is a waste.
David Attenborough
I'd like to see the giant squid. Nobody has ever seen one. I could tell you people who have spent thousands and thousands of pounds trying to see giant squid. I mean, we know they exist because we have seen dead ones. But I have never seen a living one. Nor has anybody else.
David Attenborough
Using his burgeoning intelligence, this most successful of all mammals has exploited the environment to produce food for an ever increasing population. Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, perhaps it's time we controlled the population to allow the survival of the environment.
David Attenborough
To suggest that God specifically created a worm to torture small African children is blasphemy as far as I can see. The Archbishop of Canterbury doesn't believe that.
David Attenborough
Fundamentally not to waste energy. If we were all to reduce our demands for energy, it would make an enormous amount of difference.
David Attenborough
Terrorism is an immediate problem that people are very concerned about, and I am as concerned about that as anyone else. But it isn't an either or situation.
David Attenborough
As far as I'm concerned, if there is a supreme being then He chose organic evolution as a way of bringing into existence the natural world... which doesn't seem to me to be necessarily blasphemous at all.
David Attenborough
It's like saying that two and two equals four, but if you wish to believe it, it could also be five ... Evolution is not a theory it is a fact, every bit as much as the historical fact that William the Conqueror landed in 1066.
David Attenborough
It never really occurred to me to believe in God.
David Attenborough
Cameramen are among the most extraordinarily able and competent people I know. They have to have an insight into natural history that gives them a sixth sense of what the creature is going to do, so they can be ready to follow.
David Attenborough
In the West, that's what's happening. The birth rate has been dropping steadily and still is. But there is still a vast amount of the world where that's not the case. And that is where the big population growth is taking place.
David Attenborough
Until humanity manages to sort itself out and get a co-ordinated view about the planet, it's going to get worse and worse.
David Attenborough
It is curiosity, quite right-a divine curiosity. A characteristic of the gods is curiosity.
David Attenborough
We can now manipulate images to such an extrodinary extent that there's no lie you cannot tell.
David Attenborough
Before the BBC, I joined the Navy in order to travel.
David Attenborough
London has fine museums, the British Library is one of the greatest library institutions in the world... It's got everything you want, really.
David Attenborough
I'm swanning round the world looking at the most fabulously interesting things. Such good fortune.
David Attenborough
Birds are the most accomplished aeronauts the world has ever seen. They fly high and low, at great speed, and very slowly. And always with extraordinary precision and control.
David Attenborough
