Book: War of the worlds
At that moment I experienced a feeling alien to people, but well known to animals subject to us. I experienced what a rabbit feels when he returns to his hole and suddenly finds that the diggers have dug his dwelling to the ground. Then for the first time I vaguely felt what later became quite clear to me, which had been oppressing me for many days - a feeling of dethronement, the conviction that I was no longer the king of the Earth, but an animal among other creatures under the heel of the Martians.

But the Martian paid no more attention to the rushing people than the man to the ants scurrying in the anthill, on which he stepped with his foot.

But who lives in these worlds if they inhabited? We or they lords of the World? Is it all designed for a person?

All the people who lived in these houses, all these pathetic paper-pusher good-for-nothing. They have no courage, no pride they do not know how much. And without this man is not worth a penny.

Paying a billion deaths, man has bought the right to live on Earth, and this right belongs to him in spite of all the aliens. It would have remained for him, even if the Martians ten times more powerful. For man lives and dies in vain.

If we anything learned in this war, so it is pity - pity for those devoid of reason to the souls that are suffering hardships, being in our power.

We need to remember how ruthlessly destroyed not only animals such as extinct Buffalo and the Dodo bird, but also such representatives of the inferior races. Residents of Tasmania, for example, were destroyed to the last fifty years of destructive war, started by immigrants from Europe. Unless we are really advocates of mercy that may resent the Martians, acting in the same spirit?
