“The people we've known the longest are often the people we know the least.”

“The biggest mistake we can make is to think that we've figured the whole thing out. The people I know who are the greatest skeptics, who are least certain about how the world and the universe works, are also the most intelligent.... Absolute certainty is only for stupid people. It requires a certain intelligence for us to realize how little we actually know.”

“Generally, or at least very often, people with a deep interest in animals are the best people around.”

“People who live in the last places-the people who are most neglected and least valued by the larger world- often represent the best of who we are and the finest standards of what we are to become.”

“We're not the same people we were then. We've changed, we've grown.”

“We only dream of things we know and people that we've seen... War and pain is all I know, it is all I can ever see.”
