[martyd]

Humans are the only member of the animal kingdom bent on self-destruction.

I have come to really appreciate the simple life other members of the animal kingdom have.

When God designed nature, she only made it pretty on first glance.

My worst mistakes came when I thought I was sober!

We're the only species that fouls our own nest, and then denies we've done it...

But we're not as deadly as the mosquito.

Ayn Rand is no more worthy of quotation than other fiction writers, perhaps even Louis L'Amour.
