[alwaysbeenjessica]

“Things don’t have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every party has a useful function. What’s the function of a galaxy? I don’t know if our life has a purpose and I don’t see that it matters. What does matter is that we’re a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass.”

- The Lathe of Heaven, Ursula K. Le Guin
