You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.

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.

If only we can overcome cruelty, to human and animal, with love and compassion we shall stand at the threshold of a new era in human moral and spiritual evolution - and realize, at last, our most unique quality: humanity.

As human beings, we can encompass a vague feeling of what the universe is, and all in this funny little brain here - so there has to be something more than just brain, it has to be something to do with spirit as well.

I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.

I was even accused of teaching the chimps how to fish for termites which I mean that would have been such a brilliant coup.
