Haven't you saved the world on multiple occasions?”
“That's what people tell me, but I'm beginning to think that the world isn't as fragile as all that. The universe got along just fine for billions of years without me. I don't think it needs me to save it. I think it all works out about the same in the end. Sometimes, I like to think of myself with a dead-end job that I dislike, a husband who is letting himself go, and some ungrateful kids I take to soccer practice. It sounds dreary, but at least it would be my life.”
