"It may be that my progeny[humans] will
teem over the earth like locusts,
stripping it bare,until they drown
in their own filth and hate the very
sight of one another and go
mad. Still they must go on,
because to grow without limit is
good and to accept the limits of the
law is evil." Ch.9-6 Ishmael,

"And, give them[our culture] a story
to enact in which the world
is a foe, and one day, inevitably,
their foe will lie bleeding to
death at their feet, as the,
world is now" Ch. 5-4, Ishmael, By Daniel Quinn
