She didn't mind the sacrifice. It seemed enough for a life, to give yourself to music the way nuns give themselves to God. To vow. To surrender. Only music, after all, made life bearable. Only with music did she feel--what was it? Free? Happy? No, it was something else. Awake. Carolina De Robertis
About This Quote

Whether we realize it or not, we all make sacrifices in our lives. We give up sleep, time with friends and family, and even freedom to do things that we love. Many of these sacrifices are not always easy and can often be painful. However, you must never take for granted the fact that your life is an amazing gift.

There is a reason you were born and why you spend so much time and energy doing what you do. It is for this reason that you must always give back. You must never forget that your life is a gift to others and one day you will leave this world, so it is important to live each day as if it were your last.
