This is how the world will end.

(A paraphrased version of a story told by Kierkegaard, set hundreds of years ago)

A theatre full of people catches fire. The only person who notices happens to be part of the act, a clown. The clown runs out on stage and yells to the people, the theatre is on fire, everyone needs to leave, etc. They laugh, and then shortly after burn to death.

This is how the world will end.

(A paraphrased excerpt from Faulkner's As I Lay Dying...)

It takes two people to be born, but only one people to die.

This is how the world will end.
