Key quotes
· 4 pulledThis is not science fiction; it's science eventuality.
You decide you'll control nature, and from that moment on you're in deep trouble, because you can't do it.
You can make a boat, but you can't make the ocean. You can make an airplane, but you can't make the air.
Your powers are much less than your dreams would have you believe.
