"Words lose their meaning. And the green sea and the blue sky lose their colour, painted as they were by the algae that kindly wafted oxygen during 3,000 million years.

They are at a loss to understand how this world of ours, so ardently bent upon its own annihilation, goes on being alive."
Eduardo Galeano
