Alien Quote by Rose Leslie
“I believe that we're not alone. How can we be alone in an infinite universe? I'm using the word 'alien' with a little trepidation because I know that sparks so many different versions of that word, and there are so many different images that come into one person's head when someone says it.”

![“We don't know why we are here and . . . our role in the universe, and the thought of an infinite universe. It's something the human mind can't really grasp.
