Why Is It That When You Wash Two Socks You Only End Up With One? Is There Life After Death? and Where Did The Other Sock Go?

Margaret Weis
About This Quote

This quote is a meditation on life and death. The speaker asks: “Why is it that when you wash two socks you only end up with one? Is there life after death? and where did the other sock go?” This is an existentialist question, which asks how I can know anything or make any assertions about the world. It asks whether there is meaning to human existence.
