I believe the only hope for mankind lies in the hands of our young people.
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
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.

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

Jane Goodall
It's the bond between mother and child, which is really for us and for chimps and other primates, the root of all the expressions of social behavior.
Jane Goodall
People don't believe that their actions really and truly are going to make a difference. But kids get it. They know. And they get all excited about the difference they're making.
Jane Goodall
Above all we must realize that each of us makes a difference with our life. Each of us impacts the world around us every single day. We have a choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place - or not to bother
Jane Goodall
Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right.
Jane Goodall
A sense of calm came over me. More and more often I found myself thinking, This is where I belong. This is what I came into this world to do.
Jane Goodall
Chimpanzees can be quite political.
Jane Goodall
The tree I had in the garden as a child, my beech tree, I used to climb up there and spend hours. I took my homework up there, my books, I went up there if I was sad, and it just felt very good to be up there among the green leaves and the birds and the sky.
Jane Goodall
I believe sharing stories and experiences is the best way to teach people to empathize!

If we kill off the wild, then we are killing a part of our souls.
