Dian Fossey

I would rather be out in the forest with my gorillas than in any drawing room in the world.

Conservation is not just about saving animals; it's about saving ourselves.

The bond between a researcher and her subjects is deeper than any human friendship.

Poaching is murder, plain and simple, and it must be stopped.

Gorillas have more grace and intelligence than most people I know.

In the mist-shrouded mountains, I found my true family.

We must fight for the voiceless, for they cannot fight for themselves.

The forest whispers secrets that only the patient can hear.

Human greed is the deadliest predator in Africa.

Watching a gorilla family is like observing the purest form of society.

I came to Africa to find adventure, but found purpose instead.

If we lose the gorillas, we lose a mirror to our own souls.

Tourism can be a double-edged sword: it brings awareness but also danger.

The silverback's roar is a call to protect what is sacred.

People who say they love animals but eat meat are hypocrites.

My life with the gorillas has taught me that peace comes from within.

Encroachment by humans is the silent killer of wildlife.

I am not a person who is against civilization, but I am against the destruction it brings.

Gorillas remind us that strength lies in gentleness.

The international community must act now or forever regret the loss.
