maybe it’s a little ridiculous to be like: oh this book about the creation of human life?… that pioneered Science Fiction as a genre?.. its commenting on the morality behind creation for creations sake. and the responsibility associated with bringing forth life against its will. but it IS! AH the pitfalls of man’s hubris to play god!

having one of those moments where you read a classic and you’re like oh! this is Good. does anyone know? are people aware of this?

“You throw a torch into a pile of buildings, and when they are consumed you sit among the ruins, and lament the fall.”
