You know, at times like this one feels, well, perhaps extinct animals should be left extinct.
Michael Crichton
The notion that the natural world obeys its own rules and doesn't give a damn about your expectations comes as a massive shock. But the natural world is not so malleable. On the contrary, it will demand that you adapt to it - and if you don't, you die.
Michael Crichton
