Abhijit Naskar
“Earth doesn't need our consent to wipe us out, any more than we asked permission from corona virus. Cosmos carries no fury like a mother done wrong - Mother brings us into the world, mother can take us out.”
Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

John Vaillant
“... humans are simply zombie hosts obediently disseminating their seeds, tubers, sparks, and gasses around the globe. In the end, the geologic record will show that it is we who served fire, who enabled it to burn more broadly and brightly than it ever has before. Fire, thus far, has mastered us. [Fire Weather; p. 303]”
John Vaillant, Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World
