More quotes by David Attenborough
I would love to see a giant squid. Very few people have seen them. And only about half a dozen people have seen one alive.
David Attenborough
Nothing in the natural world makes sense - except when seen in the light of evolution
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
You'll find people where their conditions aren't changing in any way, its rather rare for them to be happy.
David Attenborough
You can cry about death and very properly so, your own as well as anybody else's. But it's inevitable, so you'd better grapple with it and cope and be aware that not only is it inevitable, but it has always been inevitable, if you see what I mean.
David Attenborough
I'm swanning round the world looking at the most fabulously interesting things. Such good fortune.
David Attenborough
There are some four million different kinds of animals and plants in the world. Four million different solutions to the problems of staying alive.
David Attenborough
The reverse side of the coin in having this extraordinary ability to go anywhere, is that no one anywhere is remote any more.
David Attenborough
You have to steer a course between not appalling people, but at the same time not misleading them.
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
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
The only way to save a rhinoceros is to save the environment in which it lives, because there's a mutual dependency between it and millions of other species of both animals and plants.
David Attenborough
We keep putting on programmes about famine in Ethiopia that’s what’s happening. Too many people there. They can’t support themselves — and it’s not an inhuman thing to say. It’s the case. Until humanity manages to sort itself out and get a coordinated view about the planet it’s going to get worse and worse.
David Attenborough
Steve Irwin did wonderful conservation work but I was uncomfortable about some of his stunts. Even if animals aren't aware that you are not treating them with respect, the viewers are.
David Attenborough
Now, I find that very difficult to reconcile with notions about a merciful God.
David Attenborough
What humans do over the next 50 years will determine the fate of all life on the planet.
David Attenborough
It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement the greatest source of visual beauty the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.
David Attenborough
People talk about doom-laden scenarios happening in the future: they are happening in Africa now. You can see it perfectly clearly. Periodic famines are due to too many people living on land that can't sustain them.
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
All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people and harder - and ultimately impossible to solve - with ever more people.
David Attenborough
