“Here’s the rule: Each of us humans, but also animals, and…yes, and plants, everything that is alive, struggles to stay alive and doesn’t know why. The why is written in each cell, but in a language that we don’t know how to read with our minds. We do read it, though, with our beings, and we obey the message with our entire behavior. But the message can be imperative. The species in which the message is imprinted deeply and clearly survive, the others are extinct.” — Primo Levi
