“The universe may forget us, but our light will brighten the darkness for eons after we've departed this world. The universe may forget us, but it can't forget us until we're gone, and we're still here, our futures still unwritten. We can choose to sit on our (expletive) and wait for the end, or we can live right now. We can march to the edge of the void and scream in defiance. Yell out for all to hear that we do matter. That we are still here, living our absurd...lives, and nothing can take that away from us. Not rogue comets, not black holes, not the heat death of the universe. We may not get to choose how we die, but we can choose how we live. The universe may forget us, but it doesn't matter. Because we are the ants, and we'll keep marching on.”
― Shaun David Hutchinson, We Are the Ants

― Shaun David Hutchinson, We Are the Ants

“They want to believe, but there are too many villains in the world and not enough heroes for anyone to truly buy into the scam that is hope.”
― Shaun David Hutchinson, The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley

“Grief is an ocean, and guilt the undertow that pulls me beneath the waves and drowns me.”
