It is an ironic habit of human beings to run faster when they have lost their way.

About This Quote

When you are lost, running is often the best way to get back on the right path. The truth is, it is impossible to know where you are going or what you are doing. It's ironic that when we are lost, we try to run faster. But the very thing that makes us feel like we are running efficiently can make us go in circles.
