"Dead wood, often thought wasted in its rich rotting,
feeds all the small rotters and, through them, finally the earth itself."
- Robert Michael Pyle, "Where Bigfoot Walks," Mariner Books, p. 118

"From rotting meat come maggots;
decaying wood produces woodworms."
- Xunzi Hsun-tse, from "Xunzi" (c. 213 BCE, ancient China)
