“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.”
"Look at them, the bugs. Humans have used everything in their power to extinguish them: every kind of poison, aerial sprays, introducing and cultivating their natural predators, searching for and destroying their eggs, using genetic modification to sterilize them, burning with fire, drowning with water. Every family has bug spray, every desk has a flyswatter under it. This war has been going on for the entire history of the human civilization, but the outcome is still in doubt. The bugs have still not been eliminated. They still proudly live between the heavens and the earth, and their numbers have not diminished from the time before the appearance of the humans. Those who deemed the humans bugs seemed to have forgotten one fact: the bugs have never truly been defeated. A small black cloud covered the sun and cast a moving shadow against the ground. This was not a common cloud, but a swarm of locusts that had just arrived. As the swarm landed in the fields nearby, the three men stood in the middle of a living shower, feeling the dignity of life on earth. They poured out the two bottles of wine they had with them in the ground beneath their feet. A toast for the bugs." -cixin Liu- The Three Body Problem (edited slightly to remove spoilers by me)
