Sacrifice

Posted by PJ under courage and fear, quote of the day, sacrifice
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Surely everyone realizes, at some point along the way, that he is capable of living a far better life than the one he has chosen. What stays him, usually, is the fear of the sacrifices involved. (Even to relinquish his chains seems like a sacrifice.) Yet everyone knows that nothing is accomplished without sacrifice.”

—Henry Miller, Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymous Bosch
