We're all just moments and most of us don't matter. We study less than one percent of all humanity in our history books.

About This Quote

We are all just moments in history that are too brief to matter. That means that most of us don't mean much in the grand scheme of things. However, it's worth remembering that no one person ever meant much. Nelson Mandela said it best when he said, "I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination, I have fought against imperial domination, but you must understand that I also fought against the very concept of domination."
