People are not going to care about animal conservation unless they think that animals are worthwhile.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

It was regarded as a responsibility of the BBC to provide programs which have a broad spectrum of interest, and if there was a hole in that spectrum, then the BBC would fill it.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

The question is, are we happy...

The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?

You know, it is a terrible thing to appear on television, because people think that you actually know what you're talking about.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

I don't think we are going to become extinct. We're very clever and extremely resourceful - and we will find ways of preserving ourselves, of that I'm sure. But whether our lives will be as rich as they are now is another question.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

Dealing with global warming doesn't mean we have all got to suddenly stop breathing. Dealing with global warming means that we have to stop waste, and if you travel for no reason whatsoever, that is a waste.

I've been to Nepal, but I'd like to go to Tibet. It must be a wonderful place to go. I don't think there's anything there, but it would be a nice place to visit.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

Birds are the most popular group in the animal kingdom. We feed them and tame them and think we know them. And yet they inhabit a world which is really rather mysterious.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

If you watch animals objectively for any length of time, you're driven to the conclusion that their main aim in life is to pass on their genes to the next generation.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

I mean, it is an extraordinary thing that a large proportion of your country and my country, of the citizens, never see a wild creature from dawn 'til dusk, unless it's a pigeon, which isn't really wild, which might come and settle near them.

Before the BBC, I joined the Navy in order to travel.

London has fine museums, the British Library is one of the greatest library institutions in the world... It's got everything you want, really.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

Apart from anything else, I a...

Apart from anything else, I am designed by evolution, like we all are: if we see a little thing like that, big eyes, tiny nose, we go 'aaah'. That's what evolution does. We are programmed to do that. So to find babies the most amazing, isn't surprising, I don't think.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

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.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

Very few species have survive...

Very few species have survived unchanged. There's one called lingula, which is a little shellfish, a little brachiopod about the size of my fingernail, that has survived for 500 million years, but it's survived by being unobtrusive and doing nothing, and you can't accuse human beings of that.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

I'd like to see the giant squid. Nobody has ever seen one. I could tell you people who have spent thousands and thousands of pounds trying to see giant squid. I mean, we know they exist because we have seen dead ones. But I have never seen a living one. Nor has anybody else.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

It's a moral question about whether we have the right to exterminate species.

David Attenborough 189 quotes

It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.
