Thanks to her work, the population of mountain gorillas has tripled.

Dian Fossey 1932 - 1985

"The more you learn about the dignity of the gorilla, the more you want to avoid people"

"Gorillas are almost altruistic in nature. There is very little or nothing if any 'me-itis'. When I return to civilization, I am always horrified by 'me, me, me'"
