"is this then what it is to be a god? to know and never do to watch the world.......if i should feed the world, heal all the wounds mans smoldering industries have made what would he do? would he renouce the wealth the sawmills bring step gently on the flowers instead...for this abuntant world in all its providence?
no
he would pump more poisons build more mines safe in the knowledge that i stood at hand...endlessly covering the scars he could now endlessly inflict.
i cannot mend the world without committing a greater wrong...
mankind must stand or fall by its merits alone"
