"'Your world means nothing to them. They wonβt try to understand. Theyβll be tired. Theyβll be cold. Theyβll build a fire with your lovely oak door. Theyβll shit all over your terrace and wipe their hands on the books in your library. Theyβll spit out your wine. Theyβll eat with their hands from the pretty pewterware I see on your wall. Sitting on their haunches, theyβll watch as your armchairs go up in flames. Theyβll use your embroidered sheets to play dress up. Every object will lose the meaning you attach to it. Whatβs beautiful wonβt be beautiful anymore. Whatβs useful will become laughable. And whatβs useless will become absurd. Nothing will have any real value anymore, except maybe that bit of string left in a corner that theyβll fight over, breaking everything around them. Who knows? Now get lost!'" - Jean Raspail, The Camp of the Saints
