Help on a Quote

[Irksome]

I couldn't find it in the .gcf files and I couldn't find it on Google either. It was a quote I know I heard and it went something like this...

Humanity's legacy will be bits of plastic wedged between eons of mud.

Any help would be great - an exact quote with a source would be great, as I need this for my final project.

Half-Life 2, I thought it was something Breen had said during some point in the game.

edit: Tyguy, I couldn't find anything.

"Did the lungfish refuse to breathe air? It did not. It crept forth boldly while its brethren remained in the blackest ocean abyss, with lidless eyes forever staring at the dark, ignorant and doomed despite their eternal vigilance. Would we model ourselves on the trilobite? Are all the accomplishments of humanity fated to be nothing more than a layer of broken plastic shards thinly strewn across a fossil bed, sandwiched between the Burgess shale and an eon's worth of mud?"

-It's the one on colaboration.

Why the hell don't people read the whole topic??

 

[Naurgul]

It's funny actually, when you think about it.

 

[Druckles]

What, that people keep repeating themselves?

 

[Naurgul]

Yes. In addition, my statement was also humorous in the sense that it was a quote from a game and it was posted in a quote-from-a-game thread. By the way, I was about to open gcfscape and/or search wikiquote and post the quote the OP asked for but in the end I figured that after a page of posts someone else must had done it already and kept reading.

someone else must had done it already

kept reading.

Might've been ideal to do the second thing before you did the first. Might've realised the first would've been solved because of the second.

[Naurgul]

Now, we're in an endless recursive loop of repeating a certain Portal quote. Woe is us!

 

[Druckles]

Which one...?
