Quotes About Satisfaction

En nada acierta el hombre detenerse en el preciso punto de su necesidad: en goces, riqueza y poderío abraza más de lo que puede estrechar; su avidez es incapaz de moderación. Yo
~ Michel de Montaigne

That was life, in small - her own life, or anyone's. You spent it grubbing desperately for the physical things that would prolong it. For food mainly, and then if you were lucky enough to be fed, for shelter. And all the time in between you spent dreaming of places you couldn't go and things you could never have. You used it up trying to fit yourself into the spaces that would work, instead of unfolding yourself into the space that was yours and then seeing where that took you.
