You know the old expression "We haven't inherited the world from our parents, we've borrowed it from our children"? Well it's just not true. We haven't borrowed anything.

When I was a child, the African forest sounded like a dream to me, because it was full of animals and it was wild.

Chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutan shave been living for hundreds of thousands of years in their forest,living fantastic lives, never overpopulating, never destroying the forest. I would say that they have been in a way more successful than us as far as being in harmony with the environment.

The most important thing is to actually think about what you do. To become aware and actually think about the effect of what you do on the environment and on society. That's key, and that underlies everything else.

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

The chimps' way of aggression is quick and brutal. I compare them to gang attacks.

As thy days, so shall thy strength be.
