More quotes by David Attenborough
What humans do over the next 50 years will determine the fate of all life on the planet.
David Attenborough
I don't think we are going to become extinct. We're very clever and extremely resourceful - and we will find ways of preserving ourselves, of that I'm sure. But whether our lives will be as rich as they are now is another question.
David Attenborough
The fundamental issue is the moral issue.
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
There are perfectly good independent small nations.
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
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
I've been to Nepal, but I'd like to go to Tibet. It must be a wonderful place to go. I don't think there's anything there, but it would be a nice place to visit.
David Attenborough
The climate suits me, and London has the greatest serious music that you can hear any day of the week in the world - you think it's going to be Vienna or Paris or somewhere, but if you go to Vienna or Paris and say, 'Let's hear some good music', there isn't any.
David Attenborough
We can now manipulate images to such an extrodinary extent that there's no lie you cannot tell.
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
I believe the Abominable Snowman may be real. I think there may be something in that.
David Attenborough
The fact is that no species has ever had such wholesale control over everything on earth, living or dead, as we now have. That lays upon us, whether we like it or not, an awesome responsibility. In our hands now lies not only our own future, but that of all other living creatures with whom we share the earth.
David Attenborough
Humanity is facing a very big, slow, long, drawn-out threat, and that is to do with the way the weather is changing and the size of the population.
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
It is curiosity, quite right-a divine curiosity. A characteristic of the gods is curiosity.
David Attenborough
The World is full of wonders, but they become more Wonderful, not less Wonderful when Science looks at them.
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
Television of course actually started in Britain in 1936, and it was a monopoly, and there was only one broadcaster and it operated on a license which is not the same as a government grant.
David Attenborough
In the old days... it was a basic, cardinal fact that producers didn't have opinions. When I was producing natural history programmes, I didn't use them as vehicles for my own opinion. They were factual programmes.
David Attenborough
