More than ever, we have the means and insight to create a brave new world in which our current stage of survival of the fittest can evolve to one of survival of the wisest. The road we choose will determine our future. — Deepak Chopra

Mass chaos is in my future.
And I'm leaving my gloves behind. — Tahereh Mafi
