Man Quotes
-
And to think, there are still places in the world where man has not been, where he has left no footprints, where the mysteries stand secure, untouched by human eyes. I want to go to these places, the quiet, timeless, ageless places, and sit, letting silence and solitude be my teachers.

No, ordinary behaviour. The efficient half eats the less efficient half and grows stronger.
