"Insects sting, not from malice, but because they want to live. It is the same with critics; they desire our blood not our pain."

Previous Quote

The only clear thing is that we humans are the only species with the power to destroy the earth as we know it. The birds have no such power, nor do the insects, nor does any mammal. Yet if we have the capacity to destroy the earth, so, too, do we have the capacity to protect it.

— Dalai Lama
