“We must protect them (animals) and this land. If the animals die, this land dies. If this land dies, we die.”
― Diane van der Westhuizen, The Power Eater

“An elephant fell off a cliff, a copper cliff, which practically broke my heart. Elephants and gravity, not a great mix. But you know what? The other elephants immediately stopped and went down and found what was left of it and stood around it in a ring. I couldn't see what they did, but when they were done - it took a day - the one that fell was all back together and up and running again. They resurrected him, I've never seen anything like it. Elephants, they know some shit. I don't know why we rule them, they should rule us.”
― Lev Grossman, The Magician's Land
