“Nature has a way sometimes of reminding Man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up terrible offsprings of our pride and carelesness, to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of a tornado, an earthquake, or a Godzilla.

Whether he returns or not, or is never again seen by human eyes, the things he has taught us remain.”
