Every single day, we could be in a motorcar accident, so, we have to carry on with our lives, and not imagine terror around every corner.

More quotes by Jane Goodall
Having respect for animals makes us better humans.
Jane Goodall
Other people have talked about chimpanzees being a window into the past, which I suppose is true, in a way.
Jane Goodall
The person who has the most influence on me is my mother. Think of life as a flight where we fly higher and higher. If I were a bird that needs feathers to fly higher, I would regard my mother as my strongest feather.
Jane Goodall
I think the most important thing is to keep active, and to hope that your mind stays active.
Jane Goodall
I believe sharing stories and experiences is the best way to teach people to empathize!
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
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
Even when it comes to things like wars over oil, which may seem like a whole different ball game, there are still comparisons one can draw: chimps fight for their territory they fight for the resources within that territory, so it does relate in a way.
Jane Goodall
I don't even think of chimps as animals. I think of them as beings.
Jane Goodall
Especially females and the younger ones like to be with somebody who is wise.
Jane Goodall
I got to Africa. I got the opportunity to go and learn, not about any animal, but chimpanzees. I was living in my dream world, the forest in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. It was Tanganyika when I began.
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 can be quite political.
Jane Goodall
The chimpanzees taught me a lot about nonverbal communication. The big difference between them and us is that they don't have spoken language. Everything else is almost the same: Kissing, embracing, swaggering, shaking the fist.
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
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
You better not mess with chimps. They are much stronger than humans.
Jane Goodall
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.
Jane Goodall
Some people actually do not like animals - hard for me to understand, but true.
Jane Goodall
Some humans are mathematicians-others aren't.
