"This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." ~ Chief Seattle of the Duwamish
"There is no trap so deadly as the trap you set for yourself." ~ Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye
