Every native population, civilised or not, regards its lands as its national home, of which it is the sole master, and it wants to retain that mastery always; it will refuse to admit not only new masters but, even new partners or collaborators.  -- Vladimir Jabotinsky

 "The idea is like grass.  It craves light, like crowds, thrives on crossbreeding, grows better for being stepped on." -- Ursula Le Guin
