虫族终于明白了，我们人类珍视每一个人类的生命……但他们学到这个教训的时候，却发现这是一个无可救药的错误——因为我们人类，当理由充分时，会度过自己的生命。我们投身手榴弹以拯救散兵坑中的伙伴。我们冲出战壕，向盘踞的敌人发起冲锋，然后像蛆虫一样死在喷灯下。我们把炸弹绑在身上，然后在敌人中间引爆自己。当原因足够的时候，我们就是疯了。
(The Buggers have finally, finally learned that we humans value each and every individual human life... But they've learned this lesson just in time for it to be hopelessly wrong-for we humans do, when the cause is sufficient, spend our own lives. We throw ourselves onto the grenade to save our buddies in the foxhole. We rise out of the trenches and charge the entrenched enemy and die like maggots under a blowtorch. We strap bombs on our bodies and blow ourselves up in the midst of our enemies. We are, when the cause is sufficient, insane.)
