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.

More quotes by David Attenborough
An understanding of the natural world and what's in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment...
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
I'm not over-fond of animals. I am merely astounded by them.
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
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
There are perfectly good independent small nations.
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
All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people and harder - and ultimately impossible to solve - with ever more people.
David Attenborough
We can now manipulate images to such an extrodinary extent that there's no lie you cannot tell.
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
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
You have to steer a course between not appalling people, but at the same time not misleading them.
David Attenborough
I'm against this huge globalisation on the basis of economic advantage.
David Attenborough
The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?
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
Can a growing human population still leave space for wildlife?
David Attenborough
Very few species have survived unchanged. There's one called lingula, which is a little shellfish, a little brachiopod about the size of my fingernail, that has survived for 500 million years, but it's survived by being unobtrusive and doing nothing, and you can't accuse human beings of that.
David Attenborough
I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.
David Attenborough
It is curiosity, quite right-a divine curiosity. A characteristic of the gods is curiosity.
David Attenborough
Its about cherishing the woodland at the bottom of your garden or the stream that runs through it. It affects every aspect of life.
