How foolish to believe we are more powerful than the sea or the sky.

Ruta Sepetys
About This Quote

Have you ever noticed ocean waves crashing onto the shore? Have you ever seen a huge storm blowing in? We are powerless against the power of the universe. However, we are not powerless against ourselves. When we are in pain or are sad, we are not more powerful than the universe.
