“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create,
so that he can add to what he’s been given.
But up to now he hasn’t been a creator,
only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life’s become extinct, the climate’s ruined
and the land grows poorer and uglier every day.”

(Uncle Vanya, 1897)

~ Anton Chekhov

“Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create,
so that he can add to what he’s been given.
But up to now he hasn’t been a creator, only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life’s become extinct,
the climate’s ruined and the land grows poorer and uglier every day.”
