«Progress celebrates victories over nature. Progress makes purses out of human skin. When people were traveling in mail coaches, the world got ahead better than it does now that salesmen fly through the air. What good is speed if the brain has oozed out on the way?

Nature can rely on progress; it will avenge it for the outrage it has perpetrated on it.»
