Constance (Constance, #1)

“The anthill doesn’t exist without the ant. But if a human builds a house, according to you, that is unnatural? It’s nothing more than a semantic contrivance to make us feel special. Some native insecurity of our species, I suppose. Human beings have exactly one thing going for us—our minds. We’re neither the fastest nor the strongest. Adapting the environment to our needs is what’s natural for us. What nature intended, if you prefer. We are nature’s greatest builders. It is what we have always done. It’s what I have done. It’s pure hubris to label our nature unnatural.”
