As a species, taking all in all, we are still too young, too juvenile, to be trusted. We have spread across the face of the earth in just a few thousand years, no time at all as evolution clocks time, covering all livable parts of the planet, endangering other forms of life, and now threatening ourselves.

  • -- Lewis Thomas 路易斯·汤马斯

作为一个物种,总而言之,我们还太年轻,太幼稚,不值得信任。我们仅仅在几千年的时间里就遍布地球表面,根本没有时间作为进化时钟的时间,覆盖了地球上所有可居住的地方,危及其他生命形式,现在又威胁到我们自己。
