“Narrow minds devoid ofimagination. Intolerance, theories cut off from reality, empty terminology, usurpedideals, inflexible systems. Those are the things that really frighten me. What I absolutelyfear and loathe. Of course it's important to know what's right and what's wrong.Individual errors in judgment can usually be corrected. As long as you have the courageto admit mistakes, things can be turned around. But intolerant, narrow minds with noimagination are like parasites that transform the host, change form, and continue tothrive. They're a lost cause”

But when you see the same thing in nature, and you don't know what it is, it can be very beautiful.”
