David Attenborough
  • Many individuals are doing what they can. But real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and in our economics and in our politics.

  • I'm not in politics.

  • Nature isn't positive in that way. It doesn't aim itself at you. It's not being unkind to you.

  • I often get letters, quite frequently, from people who say how they like the programmes a lot, but I never give credit to the almighty power that created nature.

  • The whole of science, and one is tempted to think the whole of the life of any thinking man, is trying to come to terms with the relationship between yourself and the natural world. Why are you here, and how do you fit in, and what's it all about.
