David Attenborough

David Attenborough
Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth on a planet with finite resources is either a madman or an economist.
David Attenborough
How could I look my grandchildren in the eye and say I knew what was happening to the world and did nothing.
David Attenborough

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
Its about cherishing the woodland at the bottom of your garden or the stream that runs through it. It affects every aspect of life.
David Attenborough

David Attenborough
People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.
David Attenborough

It is curiosity, quite right-a divine curiosity. A characteristic of the gods is curiosity.
David Attenborough
