About This Quote

I'm a dinosaur, he thought, lumbering through a world where truthtellers are despised. This quote is about how we can sometimes be ridiculed for doing the right thing. This is because we may be too old-fashioned to understand the new ways in which things work today. Or maybe we just haven't seen enough of the world yet to understand that there are different ways to accomplish the same goal.

Though it's true that dinosaurs died out millions of years ago, they still live on in our hearts and minds. We will always remember them and so we will never forget the things they stood for and the way they lived their lives.
