Michael Pollan
“Dreams of innocence are just that; they usually depend on a denial of reality that can be its own form of hubris.”
Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

Aeschylus
“And there they ring the walls, the young, the lithe. The handsome hold the graves they won in Troy; the enemy earth rides over those who conquered.

Aeschylus, Agamemnon
