Nature Quote by Vernor Vinge
![“[The Universe] does not care, and even with all our science there are some disasters that we can not avert. All evil and good is petty before nature. Personally, we take comfort from this, that there is a universe to admire that can not be twisted to villainy or good, but which simply is.” quote by Vernor Vinge](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d5f/vernor-vinge-4357_nature_the-universe-does-not-care-and-even-with_3050789.jpg)
