More quotes by Jane Goodall
If you look through all the different cultures. Right from the earliest, earliest days with the animistic religions, we have sought to have some kind of explanation for our life, for our being, that is outside of our humanity.
Jane Goodall
Every stage of my life set the scene for the next, and at each point all I had to do was say yes and not think too much about the consequences.
Jane Goodall
There are many people out there (me being one of them) who can vouch that animals have feelings they feel compassion and love, as well as pain!
Jane Goodall
War had always seemed to me to be a purely human behavior. Accounts of warlike behavior date back to the very first written records of human history it seemed to be an almost universal characteristic of human groups.
Jane Goodall
My hope for the future is that we learn wisdom again.
Jane Goodall
In Tanzania, the chimps are isolated in a very tiny patch of forest. I flew over it 13 years ago and realized that, basically, all the trees had gone, that people all around the park are struggling to survive. It became very clear that there was no way to protect the chimps while the people were in this dire circumstance.
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
There is a lot of corruption all over the world and not only when it comes to illegal wildlife trade! There are a few ways to ensure this stops: If there are no customers, there will be no trade.
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
You aren't going to save the world on your own. But you might inspire a generation of kids to save it for all of us. You would be amazed at what inspired children can do.
Jane Goodall
Having respect for animals makes us better humans.
Jane Goodall
I think we're still in a muddle with our language, because once you get words and a spoken language it gets harder to communicate.
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
I think we must cling to the hope that we can see in the great heroism, the bravery of the firemen and policemen, and the outpouring of caring and concern that has come pouring in from around the world.
Jane Goodall
You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.
Jane Goodall
Other people have talked about chimpanzees being a window into the past, which I suppose is true, in a way.
Jane Goodall
I became intensely aware of the being-ness of trees. The feel of rough sun-warmed bark of an ancient forest giant, or the cool, smooth skin of a young and eager sapling, gave me a strange, intuitive sense of the sap as it was sucked up by unseen roots and drawn up to the very tips of the branches, high overhead.
Jane Goodall
It would be absolutely useless for any of us to work to save wildlife without working to educate the next generation of conservationists.
Jane Goodall
I believe sharing stories and experiences is the best way to teach people to empathize!
Jane Goodall
I sometimes wonder how some people can live with themselves in some of the big companies today. So many far-reaching decisions are based on how they will affect the next shareholders' meeting.
