Life Quote by Terence Thirteen
““Believing that random probability is the answer to ‘Life, the Universe and Everything’ is like believing that a spherical die, thrown from the top of an infinite incline, will come up ‘boxcars’. If you think that means, you will wait forever, for something to happen and it never will; you would be correct. If you think that it doesn’t make any sense; you would also be correct.””
