“And I wonder, in my last moments, if the planet does not mind that we wound her surface or pillage her bounty, because she knows we silly warm things are not even a breath in her cosmic life. We have grown and spread, and will rage and die.

― Pierce Brown, Morning Star

“Words are a weapon stronger than he knows. And songs are even greater. The words wake the mind. The melody wakes the heart.”
