“Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into war, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labor, exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.”

“Found a family, build a state,
The pledged event is still the same:
Matter in end will never abate
His ancient brutal claim.”
