Quote by Steven Wright

I have an existential map. It has 'You are here' written all over it.

I have an existential map. It has 'You are here' written all

Summary

This quote sarcastically refers to the philosophical concept of existentialism, which explores the meaning and purpose of human existence. The line "You are here" is commonly found on maps to indicate one's current location. By saying "I have an existential map. It has 'You are here' written all over it," the quote suggests that in the grand scheme of life, one's existence can feel insignificant and devoid of a clear direction or purpose. It reflects a resigned and perhaps humorously cynical view of the complexities of human existence.
