How humid the heart, its messy rooms! We eat spicy food, sweat like wood and smolder like the coal mine that caught fire decades ago, yet still smokes more than my great-uncle who will not quit- or go out-

About This Quote

A quote that makes you think of what you would do if you were the last person. If you were the last person alive, would you be able to adapt to your new environment? Would you find what your people were doing interesting, or would it just be depressing? Would you fight for your freedom or would you simply give up? Although I am not sure what my great-uncle did, I feel like he was actually the first one to take up arms. I think he is still fighting today.
