What makes us human, I think, is an ability to ask questions, a consequence of our sophisticated spoken language. - Jane Goodall
Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference. - Jane Goodall
We are, indeed, often cruel and evil. Nobody can deny this. We gang up on each one another, we torture each other, with words as well as deeds, we fight, we kill. But we are also capable of the most noble, generous, and heroic behavior. - Jane Goodall
You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings. - Jane Goodall
And always I have this feeling ? which may not be true at all ? that I am being used as a messenger. - Jane Goodall
We still have a long way to go. But we are moving in the right direction. If only we can overcome cruelty, to human and animal, with love and compassion we shall stand at the threshold of a new era in human moral and spiritual evolution ? and realize, at last, our most unique quality: humanity. - Jane Goodall
I became totally absorbed into this forest existence. It was an unparalleled period when aloneness was a way of life; a perfect opportunity, it might seem, for meditating on the meaning of existence and my role in it all. - Jane Goodall
A farm includes the passion of the farmer's heart, the interest of the farm's customers, the biological activity in the soil, the pleasantness of the air about the farm -- it's everything touching, emanating from, and supplying that piece of landscape.

And that is why the average farmer is now 60 years old. Serfdom just doesn't attract the best and brightest. - Joel Salatin
Our community of rebels, of humble truth seekers, wants to turn our culture around. We don't despise our country. We don't desire failure. We desire light, a beacon to show the world that our wealth need not show the way to more rapid destruction, but can be leveraged to heal more acres, more backyards, more communities faster than any civilization on the right path has ever done it. - Joel Salatin
The cycle of life is death, decomposition and regeneration, and a person who wants to stop killing animals is actually anti-life because it's only in death that life can be regenerated. - Joel Salatin
The stronger a culture, the less it fears the radical fringe. The more paranoid and precarious a culture, the less tolerance it offers. - Joel Salatin
The butcher, baker, and candlestick maker have been around a lot longer than supermarkets and Wal-Mart. - Joel Salatin
No civilization on the brink of collapse has ever changed fast enough to avert collapse. - Joel Salatin
Too often, parents whose children express an interest in farming squelch it because they envision dirt, dust, poverty, and hermit living. But great stories come out of great farming. - Joel Salatin
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. - John F. Kennedy
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. - John F. Kennedy
