“They survive. Ah yes, survive. And achieve nothing to deserve it.”

“The only meaning of life, if it can be said to have meaning, is to survive. My brothers and sisters, herding their children on the plains, find meaning in the simple pattern of their lives and need nothing more. They are immersed in the processes of the world: all is one. That is their religion. They seek no other meaning.

Four Hundred Billion Stars (1988)

Źródło: Four Hundred Billion Stars (1988), Chapter 1 “Camp Zero” (p. 38)

“You can’t hate change. It’s like hating life.”
