Jane Goodall: Citations en anglais

Jane Goodall citation: “Here we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it we can destroy the only planet we have?”

&quot; An Interview with Jane Goodall https://web.archive.org/web/20100920074838/http://www.idausa.org:80/essays/goodallinterview.html&quot;, In Defense of Animals (date unknown) <br class="br">Contexte: Researchers find it very necessary to keep blinkers on. They don&#x27;t want to admit that the animals they are working with have feelings. They don&#x27;t want to admit that they might have minds and personalities because that would make it quite difficult for them to do what they do; so we find that within the lab communities there is a very strong resistance among the researchers to admitting that animals have minds, personalities and feelings.

“Only if we understand can we care. Only if we care will we help. Only if we help shall they be saved.”

“The most important thing is to actually think about what you do. To become aware and actually think about the effect of what you do on the environment and on society. That's key, and that underlies everything else.”

Jane Goodall

As quoted in Going Blue: A Teen Guide to Saving Our Oceans, Lakes, Rivers, & Wetlands (2010) by Cathryn Berger Kaye and Philippe Cousteau, p. 14

“I think if we study the primates, we notice that a lot of these things that we value in ourselves, such as human morality, have a connection with primate behavior.”

Jane Goodall

Frans de Waal, in a NOVA interview, &quot; The Bonobo in All of Us&quot; PBS (1 January 2007) http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/bonobo-all-us.html; quotes from this interview were for some time misplaced on this page, which probably generated similar misattributions elsewhere, and the misplacement was not discovered until after this quotation had been selected for Quote of the Day, as a quote of Goodall. Corrections were subsequently made here, during the day the quote was posted as QOTD. <br class="br">Misattributed <br class="br">Contexte: I think if we study the primates, we notice that a lot of these things that we value in ourselves, such as human morality, have a connection with primate behavior. This completely changes the perspective, if you start thinking that actually we tap into our biological resources to become moral beings. That gives a completely different view of ourselves than this nasty selfish-gene type view that has been promoted for the last 25 years.

“Lasting change is a series of compromises. And compromise is alright, as long your values don't change.”
