Quote by: Miller Rory

    In a thousand years or ten thousand, no one would remember my nation. It, too, would share in oblivion and prove to not matter, to never have mattered.     The same for my species, and the earth, the universe, and God. When the last star winks out, none of it will have mattered - and it ten billion years, I will still be nothing - and equal to God.      That was the first stage in my enlightenment: to understand that nothing matters. Hence, everything is equal.
