The awful thing is we don't respect each other.

Chimpanzees can be quite political.

Well, in some ways we're not successful at all. We're destroying our home. That's not a bit successful.

Chimps are far too much human to be my favorite animal.

I never wanted to give up. I thought I might have to. Especially at the beginning when chimpanzees had never seen a white person before.They gave one look at me and ran away! They were scared, but eventually I got their trust.

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

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