“Men and their works have been a disease on the surface of their planets before now,” his father said. “Nature tends to compensate for diseases, to remove or encapsulate them, to incorporate them into the system in her own way.”

We will never be free until we have broken all the chains of our “non-conscious ideology” and our colonized mentalities.”
