“You actually think we want to be like you? You Sapiens, with your bleak and apocalyptic history? What a grim and self-loathing species you are!

Look at what you worship as progress. The agricultural revolution turned you from free wanderers into slaves to the land. The Industrial Revolution robbed you of your souls and made you cruel. And the IT revolution gave you loneliness, hatred, and misery.

What's next for Sapiens in the glorious march of progress?”
― Douglas Preston, Extinction

“The insane idea that it is possible to grow indefinitely in an environment that has limited resources is only human. The rest of life follows realistic models.”
― Stefano Mancuso, La nazione delle piante

“Considering that we live in an era of evolutionary everything---evolutionary biology, evolutionary medicine, evolutionary ecology, evolutionary psychology, evolutionary economics, evolutionary computing---it was surprising how rarely people thought in evolutionary terms. It was a human blind spot. We look at the world around us as a snapshot when it was really a movie, constantly changing.”
― Michael Crichton, Prey

“Scientists are actually preoccupied with accomplishment. So they are focused on whether they can do something. They never stop to ask if they should do something.”
― Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park
