Chimpanzees Can Be Quite Political.

I Had This Wonderful, Supportive Mother Who Didn't Get Mad Because Of All The Earth Mucking Up My Bed. She Just Said They'd Die - They Needed The Earth.

If You Look Into Their [chimpanzees] Eyes, You Know You're Looking Into A Thinking Mind. They Teach Us That We Are Not The Only Beings With Personalities, Minds Capable Of Rational Thought, Altruism And A Sense Of Humor. That Leads To New Respect For Other Animals, Respect For The Environment And Respect For All Life.

If You Look Through All The Different Cultures. Right From The Earliest, Earliest Days With The Animistic Religions, We Have Sought To Have Some Kind Of Explanation For Our Life, For Our Being, That Is Outside Of Our Humanity.

The Person Who Has The Most Influence On Me Is My Mother. Think Of Life As A Flight Where We Fly Higher And Higher. If I Were A Bird That Needs Feathers To Fly Higher, I Would Regard My Mother As My Strongest Feather.

Having Respect For Animals Makes Us Better Humans.
