Scott Westerfeld...humanity is a disease, a cancer on the body of the world.
About This Quote
The most dangerous kind of cancer is a virus that can be passed from one person to another. It’s a disease that spreads. For the longest time our world has been a place where few have been willing to step up and identify it as a problem. Why? Because once we start calling it a problem, it is hard not to look for solutions.
The people who have been infected with this virus have been infected by society as a whole. It’s as if everyone is infected with the same disease as each other, but no one has been willing to do anything about it. Well now that we have finally recognized this as a problem, the only way to cure is to get rid of all of us.
We are all afraid of getting rid of humanity because if we did get rid of us, there would be no more people on this earth. This is where I draw the line--no more people on this earth! And just because we are afraid, that doesn’t mean that we can continue on like this forever without fixing what has become so wrong in our world.
