Quote by Matt Haig

“Such a sadness to that word, don't you think? Legacy. What a meaningless thing. All that work for a future in which they don't appear [...] What is legacy but the most empty and mediocre substitute for what we have. Steel and money and fancy concert halls don't give you immortality.”
