Life Quote by Hwee Hwee Tan
““So it is official. Life is meaningless. The intellectuals have debated it, and produced conclusions that your feeble brain cannot understand, but only accepts. If only your were smarter, then maybe you would grasp the logical reasons underlining the inevitable pointlessness of existence, but all you can do now is accept your fate.””
