I Still Think We Are Smart Enough

I Feel A Desperation To Make People See What We Are Doing To The Environment, What A Mess We Are Making Of Our World. At This Point, The More People I Reach, The More I Accomplish. ... I Miss Gombe And My Wonderful Years In The Forest But If I Were To Go Back To That, I Wouldn't Feel I Was Doing What I Should Be Doing.

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.

The Problem Of The Chimps Is That They Can Only Sit And Look. They Can't Discuss What They Feel. All That Feeling Is Trapped Within Each One.

There Are Good Mothers And Bad Ones, But Most Of Them Are Somewhere In-between.

Especially Now When Views Are Becoming More Polarized, We Must Work To Understand Each Other Across Political, Religious And National Boundaries.
