"Going up that river was like travelling back to the earliest beginnings of the world, when vegetation rioted on the earth and the big trees were kings. An empty strema, a great silente, an impenetrabile forest"
Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness


"A study of the Great Malady; horror of home"
Charles Baudelaire


"Our Lord willing, at the time of my departure I will bring back six of them to Your Highnesses, that they may learn to talk. I saw no beast of any kind in this island, except parrots"
Christopher Columbus, The Journal
