More quotes by Jane Goodall
Certainly it's very often true that women tend to be a bit quieter and more prepared to sit there and let the animal tell you things.
Jane Goodall
The more we spread the word, the further it will go and more it will change!
Jane Goodall
Without the support of local people, you might as well give up because you can make all the noise you like, you can demarcate a national park, but if the people outside want to go creeping into a forest you really can't stop them. They've got to get a benefit.
Jane Goodall
Thousands of people who say they love animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been utterly deprived of everything that could make their lives worth living and who endured the awful suffering and the terror of the abattoirs...
Jane Goodall
From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That's what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest.
Jane Goodall
I don't even think of chimps as animals. I think of them as beings.
Jane Goodall
My hope for the future is that we learn wisdom again.
Jane Goodall
Well, in some ways we're not successful at all. We're destroying our home. That's not a bit successful.
Jane Goodall
I believe the only hope for mankind lies in the hands of our young people.
Jane Goodall
Surely it should be a matter of moral responsibility that we humans, different from other animals mainly by virtue of our more highly developed intellect and, with it, our greater capacity for understanding and compassion, ensure that medical progress slowly detaches its roots from the manure of non-human animal suffering and despair.
Jane Goodall
Of course we're all programmed genetically to some extent. But the selfish gene thesis doesn't explain everything.
Jane Goodall
I am living in the Africa I have always longed for, always felt stirring in my blood.
Jane Goodall
We can't leave people in abject poverty, so we need to raise the standard of living for 80% of the world's people, while bringing it down considerably for the 20% who are destroying our natural resources.
Jane Goodall
I think anything is better than war. The extent to which one can negotiate with fanatics, I have no idea. I don't know.
Jane Goodall
I always loved animals. And when I was ten, I decided I had to go to Africa and live with animals and write books about them.
Jane Goodall
For those who have experienced the joy of being alone with nature there is really little need for me to say much more for those who have not, no words of mine can ever describe the powerful, almost mystical knowledge of beauty and eternity that come, suddenly, and all unexpected.
Jane Goodall
Some people actually do not like animals - hard for me to understand, but true.
Jane Goodall
Chimpanzees, more than any other living creature, have helped us to understand that there is no sharp line between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom. It's a very blurry line, and it's getting more blurry all the time.
Jane Goodall
If you really want something, and really work hard, and take advantage of opportunities, and never give up, you will find a way.. Follow your Dreams.
Jane Goodall
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. Torture victims begin to recover when they spend time outside in a garden with flowers. So we need them, in some deep psychological sense, which I don't suppose anybody really understands yet.
