Where's this quote from? I think it's from a sci-fi movie, but I'm not sure. All I know is that someone is the last person on Earth and his glasses broke, so he couldn't read anything anymore.

It's an episode of The Twilight Zone.

It may have been Burgess Merideth... (?)

Grr! Now you've got me wondering! It sounds soooo familiar, but I just can't place it. I tried googling a bunch of things, but no luck for me.

Edit: and by the time I got back, the answer was there..... NOW I remember! I used to love the Twilight Zone

If I remember correctly, it is because he thought he could get some peace and quiet in a bomb shelter. He falls asleep reading or something and wakes up after the explosion. He finds out the city is all empty and has a spasm all over the library. Somewhere along the line, he drops his glasses and steps on them. Ha-Ha.

Narrator's voice
The best laid plans of mice and men...and Henry Bemis. The small man in the glasses who wanted nothing but time. Nothing but a moment out of an eon of moments. Nothing but an instant out of an eternity. Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape. Just a piece of the rubble. Just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself. Mr. Henry Bemis...in the Twilight Zone.

FADE TO BLACK.
