About This Quote

If you are happy to settle for a life of clichés, you will always be disappointed. A world where people have no imagination is a world that gets stuck in the past, where everything is predictable. It’s a world where everything has to be done the same way each time, so that nothing ever changes. Unfortunately, it’s also a world of boredom, which is why most people are seeking something more interesting. They want to live their lives with imagination and spontaneity, not with set-in-stone principles that they have to follow.
