Everything and everyone will die, and more than that…
““Everything and everyone will die, and more than that, there won't be any evidence that anyone was ever here at all. There are some that say that because of this certainty, nothing anyone says and nothing anyone does can ever really matter. They say nothing can matter if everything will end. Eudora, if you take nothing else from me, take this: They are wrong.””
