Would you rather be a fish out of water or a fish afraid of water? The fish out of water will experience a short, exhilarating experience but will quickly die. The fish afraid of water will exist but not live. Either way, you’ll eventually die. Choosing a path is rarely easy, but it's something we all ultimately do; whether by choice or as a spectator. Either way, water continues to flow. With or without you. Michael Holbrook
About This Quote

Either way, you'll eventually die. Choosing a path is rarely easy, but it's something we all ultimately do; whether by choice or as a spectator. Either way, water continues to flow. With or without you.
