"We are all interconnected. What we do to the Earth, we do to ourselves."

"I remember once watching a chimpanzee trying to open a nut with a stone, and it was so frustrated, it just threw the stone down and screamed. I understood exactly how it felt."

"I believe that we can make a difference, if we just try."

"Chimpanzees, more than any other living creature, have helped us to understand that there is no sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom."

"Every creature has a role to play in the ecosystem, and we need to respect that."
