“We should not knowingly allow any species or race to go extinct. And let us go beyond mere salvage to begin the restoration of natural environments, in order to enlarge wild populations and stanch the hemorrhaging of biological wealth.

No matter how dull they are, they still have to figure things out for themselves.”

The further back we go, the greater the difference from external appearances and behavior patterns which we observe today.”
