“Don't confuse things. You can make a boat, but you can't make the ocean. You can make an airplane, but you can't make the air. Your powers are much less than your dreams of reason would have you believe.”
― Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park

“You egomaniacal idiot,” Malcolm said, in fury. “Do you have any idea what you are talking about? You think you can destroy the planet? My, what intoxicating power you must have.” Malcolm sank back on the bed. “You can’t destroy this planet. You can’t even come close.”

- Dr Ian Malcom”

“A hundred years ago, we didn't have cars and airplanes and computers and vaccines. It was a whole different world. But to the Earth, 100 years is nothing. A million years is nothing. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow and powerful rhythms and we haven't got the humility to try. We have been residents here for a blink of an eye. If we are gone tomorrow, the Earth will not miss us.

"So what are you saying? We shouldn't care about the environment?"

"No, of course not."

"Then what?"

Malcom coughed and stared into the distance. "Let's be clear, the planet is not in jeopardy, we are in jeopardy. We haven't got the power to destroy the planet, or to save it. But we might have the power to save ourselves.”
― Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park
