Will they remember us, Aravan? Will Mankind remember us at all?" ... Mayhap, Gwylly, mayhap. Mayhap in their legends and their fables. Mayhap in naught but their dreams.

About This Quote

The characters in the story Aravan, by Robert Lowndes, reflect the themes of life and death. Aravan lived in a world that was bound by its past. Every person in the story had a role to play in the events of the past. The only way to change something is to remember it, but there were people who would not remember these people or their role in the events that shaped the world.

The idea that “people forget” is a common theme seen through out history. People are constantly forgetting about the greater part of humanity, but this is our greatest weakness.
