" That trilobite never tried to prove
himself to anyone. He never worried about who liked him or not. All
he did was live his life, and then lie down and die on the ocean
floor. But he still left a mark. He never could have guessed that
three hundred million years in the future, two people would be
looking at the impression he made on the earth and appreciating his
existence. But here we are doing just that "
