About This Quote

The universe doesn't care about us. It just does what it does. Human beings are not the center of the universe. The universe is not out to get us.

We're just temporary blips on the cosmic radar, and we're all just here for a little while. For all the things that so many people believe in, I think this is one of them - that there's no rhyme or reason to anything, and that we're here for so very short a time, and that ultimately our lives are meaningless."
