Toni Collette in I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020)
"A whisper...As if I'm constantly being whispered to. Maybe it's sharing the secrets of the universe with me...but I can't tell...Maybe it's giving me stock market tips."
Everything has to die. That's the truth. One likes to think that there is always hope. That you can live above death. And its a uniquely human fantasy that things will get better, born perhaps of the uniquely human understanding that things will not. There's no way to know for certain. But I suspect humans are the only animal that know the inevitability of their own deaths. Other animals live in the present. Humans cannot, so they invented hope.
