Part of this problem arises from the fact that much of our knowledge about animals and plat species is dependent upon size. The bigger the life form, the more we know about it."-Pranay Lal, Invisible Empire: The Natural History of Viruses

"Virus are a part of us. We cannot eliminate them without making ourselves extinct. We must begin to abandon or unending campaigns and eradication programmes that deploy toxic technologies to control diseases. We need sanity on how we use antibiotics, synthetic chemicals and disinfectants, and we need to stop “over-medicalizing"-Pranay Lal, Invisible Empire: The Natural History of Viruses
