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
I've been bitten by a python. Not a very big one. I was being silly, saying: 'Oh, it's not poisonous' Then, wallop! But you have fear around animals.
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
We really need to kick the carbon habit and stop making our energy from burning things. Climate change is also really important. You can wreck one rainforest then move, drain one area of resources and move onto another, but climate change is global.
David Attenborough
It is curiosity, quite right-a divine curiosity. A characteristic of the gods is curiosity.
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
All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people and harder - and ultimately impossible to solve - with ever more people.
David Attenborough
All the modern devices we have enable us to investigate things and have enabled us to do better.
David Attenborough
What humans do over the next 50 years will determine the fate of all life on the planet.
David Attenborough
If I can make programmes when I'm 95, that would be fine. But I would think I'll have had enough by then.
David Attenborough
I find it far more awesome, wonderful, that creation our appearance in the world should be the culmination, or at least one of the latest products of 3,000 Million years of organic evolution, than a kind of country trick, taking a rib out of a man's side in a trance.
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
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
Well, I'm having a good time. Which makes me feel guilty too. How very English.
David Attenborough
I've never actually met one in the wild, but I have seen a king cobra. They go towards people, they rear up six feet tall and they're very aggressive and they are very fast. And one bite means certain death. So if I encountered a king cobra in the wild I would be very alarmed.
David Attenborough
Since when has Finland been a rotten place to live in?
David Attenborough
The fundamental issue is the moral issue.
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
Climate change will affect the whole of humanity, while terrorist attacks will only affect a small section of humanity. Of course, you wouldn't say that if you were related to someone who had been beheaded or blown up or murdered.
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
