“I said at the beginning of this ramble that life is meaningless. It is not a flippant assertion. I think it’s absurd, the idea of seeking ‘meaning’ in the set of circumstances that happens to exist after 13.8 billion years’ worth of unguided events. Leave it to humans to think the universe has a purpose for them. However, I am no nihilist. I am not even a cynic. I am, actually, rather romantic. And here’s my idea of romance: You will soon be dead.” — Tim Minchin
