Life Quote by Madeline Sheehan
““We were alone here. We had always been alone here. When we died and rid ourselves of our meaningless existences, we would die alone, our souls would abandon us for newer, better bodies and we would rot. Eventually, probably not too far in the distant future, there would be no one left to remember us at all. And then the world would be alone. And maybe that was what nature had intended all along...””
