3 quotes from The Hot Zone

  • "We are not on top of the food chain anymore. In a way, we are at the bottom of the chain and don’t even know it."
  • "The ultimate truth about the virus, the stunning, horrifying truth, is that it is an invader, a killer, a predator that has existed on this planet long before us and will survive long after us."
  • "In the end, we are all afraid of something that we can’t see, something that can snatch us away in an instant—an invisible enemy lurking in the shadows of our own biology."
