7. I am pessimistic about the
human race because it is
too ingenious for its own
good. Our approach to
nature is to beat it into
submission.We would stand
a better chance of survival if
we accommodated ourselves
to this planet and viewed it
appreciatively instead of
skeptically and dictatorially.

own devices, will
eventually (and

40. [A] good piece of
legislation, is like a
good sentence; or a
good piece of music.
Everybody can
recognize it. They say,
'Huh. It works. It makes
sense.'
Barack Obama
