It is impossible to live nearer the ground without being under it. Its horizons are a few inches away. It has about as good a turn of speed as you need to hunt down a lettuce. It has survived while the rest of evolution flowed past it by being, on the whole, no threat to anyone and too much trouble to eat.”  This quote is taken from: The Turtle by Ogden Nash Small Gods by Terry Pratchett The Year of the Turtle by David M.
