"The advantage of the animal over the vegetable kingdom is obvious. The cabbage, should its environment tend to become worse, must live it out, or die; the rabbit may move on in quest of a better."

J. G. BallardNovember 15, 1930 to April 19, 2009 Born in Shanghai and Died in London, England Best known as the author of The Empire of the Sun. Ballard was a novelist and short story writer who writes both autobiographical fiction and Science Fiction. If you've only read his autobiographical novels, they have not prepared you for his Science Fiction. I prefer the Science Fiction - in small doses.
Quote "My brief stay at the hospital had already convinced me that the medical profession was an open door to anyone nursing a grudge against the human race."
