― Isaac Asimov

“You make me feel safe. Like the world hasn’t ended and there’s nothing left. Because I have you.”

“As crude a weapon as the cave man's club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life - a fabric on the one hand delicate and destructible, on the other miraculously tough and resilient, and capable of striking back in unexpected ways.

― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring
