Can't stand all these poisonous creatures, all these snakes and insects and fish and things. Wretched things, biting everybody. And then people expect me to tell them what to do about it. I'll tell them what to do. Don't get bitten in the first place. (quoting Dr. Struan Sutherland) ✨ Douglas Adams, Mark Carwardine (2011). Last Chance to See, p.21, Ballantine Books
