About This Quote
All the universe has ever done is to create life, and then destroy it. We are nothing but a banal tragedy spread over two generations. "Banal" is an adjective that means ordinary or boring. The idea of banality is so overwhelming because the world is so complex.
A complex system, like a universe, would be too complicated to understand without time and experience. This quote helps us realize that the universe does not have any meaning or purpose. We are just born into it and will leave it in one day.
