“Humans will never be in charge of this world, as long as dust and weeds do as they please.”
“And charge it please.”
“What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.”
“The world was colossal, he said, we humans and our problems tiny and unimportant, no more than dust in the hands of time,”
“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”
“I rather like it when you take charge.”“You do?”“Of course; just as long as you only do it when I let you”
