You have to really care about what you say. And if you don't, it will never come out quite right, unless you go into acting, in which case you have to act fast before you realize it is something which you do not believe in.

At some point, my body will collapse. But I hope that my brain will still be working so that I can carry on with writing.
Jane Goodall
Image
Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved.
Jane Goodall
Image
Let us develop respect for all living things. Let us try to replace violence and intolerance with understanding and compassion. And love.
Jane Goodall
Image
If only we can overcome cruelty, to human and animal, with love and compassion we shall stand at the threshold of a new era in human moral and spiritual evolution - and realize, at last, our most unique quality: humanity.

Without the heart to ground it and open it to who we really can be as human beings, the brain is a very dangerous machine. A machine that is saying: we've got to have economic growth we've got to have unending economic growth, otherwise societies will collapse. And yet there should be something saying: wait a minute, this isn't going to work.

To me, trees are living beings and they have their own sort of personalities.

I learnt from Flo how to be mother. Flo was patient, tolerant. She was supportive. She was always there. She was playful. She enjoyed having her babies, as good mothers do.

I believe that we have more capability than any other creature to control our biological inheritance - and we do so most of the time.

What makes us human, I think, is an ability to ask questions, a consequence of our sophisticated spoken language.

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

Image
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.

We are unique. Chimpanzees are unique. Dogs are unique. But we humans are just not as different as we used to think.

I am obstinate and I will not give in.

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