Dean KoontzEven if there are moments during the day when all seems normal and when every action of your own and of those around you seems to be unremarkable, the appearance of ordinariness is an illusion, and just below the placid surface, the world is seething.
About This Quote
All people have a choice as to what they want their life to be like. Some may choose to follow a life full of happiness and success, others may think it best to live a more difficult life or a life that is less complicated. Many people just want to have a good time, while others work towards achieving greater things. However, no matter what our lives look like, everyone has a choice as to how they want to live them. It takes effort and work to achieve the things we want in life, but we can always choose how we feel about those efforts and what kind of effort we put forth.
