Around the Earth insects occur more often than do earthquakes. In the patterning of total evolutionary events, there comes a time, once in a while, amongst the myriad of low energy events, when a large energy event transpires and is so disturbing that with their general adaptability lost, the ultra-specialized creatures perish.“ — Buckminster Fuller „Two possibilities: making oneself infinitely small or being so. The second is perfection, that is to say, inactivity, the first is beginning, that is to say, action.“ — Franz Kafka „If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event,—that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death.“ — George Orwell
