“And I honestly believe that--certainly learning, but also the arts, and in the case of today's topic, the word, are the best way, the most efficient and powerful way for people to see each other, and for people to understand that we all live different lives, and that, as a species, honestly, we don't survive if we don't figure out how to hear, respect, and see each other. And I think that literature has superpowers to do that.”

“Creatures at large GOD claims as his own peculiar property. All the Beasts of the Forest are Mine, faith the Mighty GOD, and so are the CATTLE upon a thousand Hills; I know all the FOWLS upon the Mountains, and the Wild BEASTS of the Field are in My Sight. With regard to these Creatures, He requires not our care or attention. He does not expect that we should concern or trouble ourselves about them. The Duty of Men concerning Animals that are wild by nature, lies in a very narrow compass - Let them alone. Being GOD's property, and in his fight, GOD will provide for them. And it is not enough for us, that we invade not their providence, but leave them unmolested and at liberty to perform the tasks, and answer the ends, for which GOD was pleased to create them.”
