"Why does human life have any value at all? Not only are you going to die individually, but the whole human race is going to die. Someday the world will grow too hot or cold and all you people will not only be individually dead, but the whole conscious life on this world will be dead and nobody will see the birds fly. As you know, I don't speak academically, shut off in a scholastic cubicle. I have lots of young people come to us from the end of the earth. And they have gone to the end of this logically. They realize what the situation is. They can't find any meaning to life. It's the meaning of the words "punk rock". I must say that on the basis of what they're being taught in schools, that the final reality is only this material thing - they're not wrong; they're right."
- Francis Schaeffer
