Insects and Men

" There is no god in his heaven, so far as man can see. The truth is, Nature is a slaughter house. There are some pleasant sensations, some pleasures, which many would deprive us of, and scattered along the path is trouble and misery, and in the end, tragedy. It is all a nightmare, if you think. The animals have the advantage of us, they do not think, they simply live. " Insects and Men: Instinct and Reason, Clarance S. Darow.

" It´s germinal principle the unfathomable smile, always with a touch of something sinister in it... maybe, in this case, the presentiment of early death." Walter Pater
