Michael Pollan
“So this is what commodity corn can do to a cow: industrialize the miracle of nature that is a ruminant, taking this sunlight- and prairie grass-powered organism and turning it into the last thing we need: another fossil fuel machine. This one, however, is able to suffer. ”
Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

Thomas Pynchon
“Strange, strange are the dynamics of oil and the ways of oilmen.”
Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow
