“to an ant, an anteater is a higher order of creation. He would be too big for them to comprehend, too mighty to dream of resisting. He would move among them like an unseen, inexplicable whirlwind, visiting them with destruction and death. But that wouldn’t spoil things for the ants. They would reason that destruction was simply their just punishment for evil. And the anteater wouldn’t even know he was a deity. Or care.”
― Isaac Asimov, Nightfall and Other Stories

“He did not like to witness wild murder-yearnings where others could see only a few words of unimportant quarrel.”
― Isaac Asimov, Nightfall and Other Stories
