Quote examples
Harrison Ford
American Actor
I went down to Venezuela and ended up renting a helicopter and flew with my sons to the tops of the tepuis, these freestanding jungle mesas, 'lost worlds' as it were. In fact, it's almost impossible to access them without one. So we were able to land and spend some time there. We were trapped for about six hours by clouds that came in.
Quote examples
Ingrid Betancourt
Colombian Politician
In the jungle, every day is like the other. So you need to have a special discipline to make things different and to keep in your memory the dates and the days. And I think that's something that's very important when you are held hostage.
Quote examples
Peter Benchley
American Author
It is not that I don't have a fear of sharks, it is that I have a respect for them, so that I know any more than if I were to go into the jungle, I would have a fear of tigers, that I would try to lower the odds.
Quote examples
Jonathan Haidt
American Psychologist
When I think about life on Earth, there should not be a species like us. And if there was, we should be out in the jungle killing each other in small groups. That's what you should expect.

Bette Davis

Quote examples
Emily Atack
British Actress
In the jungle, you learn about the other beauties in life. In everyday life, it's all about looking perfect, but in there, there's none of that.
