This quote highlights the interconnectedness of all living beings, emphasizing that humans are fundamentally part of the natural world. It serves as a reminder of our biological kinship with animals and plants, encouraging humility and respect for nature. Recognizing ourselves as part of the ecosystem can foster a greater sense of responsibility toward environmental preservation and compassion for other living creatures. Such perspective shifts challenge the often human-centric view of the universe, inspiring a more holistic approach to life and our role within it.

Maybe that'd make you feel better too. — David Mitchell

I think even back as far as 'Lord of the Rings,' there was always the chance that 'The Hobbit' would be made, even way back then. Of course at that point, Peter Jackson didn't probably think at that point that he'd be directing it. — Andy Serkis
