It's been proven by quite a few studies that plants are good for our psychological development. If you green an area, the rate of crime goes down.

A good mother is protective but not over-protective. She's patient, she's affectionate, she's playful, but above all she is supportive.

You're thinking about putting scientists into small cages and doing research on them. I wish it could happen sometimes.

We could change the world tomorrow if all the millions of people around the world acted the way they believe.

Chimps act the way they feel unless they are afraid of reprisal if they do so. But that doesn't apply to humans.

Some people actually do not like animals - hard for me to understand, but true.

I am living in the Africa I have always longed for, always felt stirring in my blood.

Even chimps understand the concept - if a troop of chimps enters a fruit tree, they will only pick the fruits that are ripe and leave the others growing. That is sustainability.
