Character: Paul Shubin

I just wanted to explain why nature, do you think that affects us. Because it awakens in us a need for love and unable to satisfy her. She quietly driving us to other living embraces, but we do not understand it and are waiting for something from her.

- I want to love for myself; I want to be number one.
- The number of the first <...>. And I think, to put yourself number two - the whole purpose of our lives.

I was most striking in the ants and beetles and other worthy insects is their amazing gravity; running to and fro with important faces, just their life means something! For pity's sake, man, king of creation, the highest creature, looking at them, but he does not care; even, perhaps, a mosquito sits on the nose of the king of creation and will use it for food. It's a shame. But on the other hand, what their life is worse than our lives? And why do they not Lord it, if we allow ourselves to put on airs?
