“A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.”

“To expand their territory, they had never shied away from sacrificing lesser life in the past. Forests had been cleared, swamps drained, dams built. There had been countless examples of people destroying habitats and driving species to extinction for their own benefit. If they could do this on their own planet, why should some unknown world in the void of space be treated differently?”
― Alexander O. Smith, All You Need Is Kill
