I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.
JANE GOODALLI like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.
JANE GOODALLI like to envision the whole world as a jigsaw puzzle. If you look at the whole picture, it is overwhelming and terrifying, but if you work on your little part of the jigsaw and know that people all over the world are working on their little bits, that’s what will give you hope.
JANE GOODALLYou cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
JANE GOODALLHere we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it we can destroy the only planet we have?
JANE GOODALLI never wanted to be a scientist per se. I wanted to be a naturalist.
JANE GOODALLHow can you stop yourself from yelling and shouting and accusing everyone of cruelty? The easy answer is that the aggressive approach simply doesn’t work.
JANE GOODALLVery few Westerners, I thought, could tolerate such a way of life- for it would mean having to forgo the luxuries which we had come to think of as necessities.
JANE GOODALLOnly if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help, shall all be saved.
JANE GOODALLI think the best evenings are when we have messages, things that make us think, but we can also laugh and enjoy each other’s company.
JANE GOODALLPeople say to me so often, ‘Jane how can you be so peaceful when everywhere around you people want books signed, people are asking these questions and yet you seem peaceful,’ and I always answer that it is the peace of the forest that I carry inside.
JANE GOODALLCruelty is a terrible thing. I believe it is the worst human sin.
JANE GOODALLIt actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.
JANE GOODALLOnly when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our true potential.
JANE GOODALLAnd always I have this feeling-which may not be true at all-that I am being used as a messenger.
JANE GOODALLI love dogs, not chimps. Some chimps are nice, and some are horrid. I don’t actually think of them as animals any more than I think of us as animals, although both of us are.
JANE GOODALLThe least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves
