Something Wicked This Way Comes • 1962
“I know it. I know everything.” She waited a moment. “What do you know?” “No use making more people. People die.” His voice was very calm and quiet and almost sad. “That’s everything.”
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The quoted exchange has a calm, nearly sorrowful voice claiming to know everything, then defining that everything as mortality: people die, so there is little point creating more of them. It reads as bleak, quiet resignation, with the last line reducing all knowledge to one fact of death.
