I'm a fighter, and I believe in the power of love.
I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.
Not for the sake of our health, though it's often presented that way, but because it's an escape from the human anthill. It's an escape from our own competition, and our own dramas. And that's why ween joy looking at glaciers and oceans, and contemplating the Earth from outside its perimeters, etc. We like to feel in contact with something that is non-human, and that is so deeply important to us.
Understanding how the olfactory system works is not just about understanding smell, but also about understanding how the brain processes information.
