A Mortal Ape (Quote)
You are a mortal ape and, soon enough, you will be dead. You will not be remembered.
(Rachel E. and Ross G. Menzies: "Mortals: How the Fear of Death Shaped Human Society")
I can't vouch for the site I stumbled upon this quote while looking for something else, nor the book it was taken from, but I can tell you that this quote hit me like a ton of bricks just now, which is why I wanted to share it.
