About This Quote

Civilization is a myth. That is the truth this world has taught us. We have not risen above our baser instincts... That is what always has and always will drive us.

This quote speaks of man’s need to control nature. The idea that we can control nature goes against the very nature of living. To be at peace with the Earth and the rest of the world, we must accept that we cannot control it and that we must learn to live with it instead.
