Zitat des Tages von Dian Fossey:
When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.
I had a wonderful contact, especially with Uncle Bert who was an angel and led the whole group over to my side of a steep ravine I could not cross to get over to them.
I feel more comfortable with gorillas than people. I can anticipate what a gorilla's going to do, and they're purely motivated.
Gorillas are almost altruistic in nature. There's very little if any 'me-itis.' When I get back to civilization, I'm always appalled by 'me, me, me.'
The man who kills the animals today is the man who kills the people who get in his way tomorrow.
The more you learn about the dignity of the gorilla, the more you want to avoid people.
