He found himself remembering how on one summer morning they two had started from New York in search of happiness. They had never expected to find it, perhaps, yet in itself that quest had been happier than anything he expected forevermore. Life, it seemed, must be a setting up of props around one - otherwise it was disaster. There was no rest, no quiet. He had been futile in longing to drift and dream, no one drifted except to maelstroms, no one dreamed, without his dreams becoming fantastic nightmares of indecision and regret. F. Scott Fitzgerald
About This Quote

It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. The struggle to make ends meet can be exhausting to both the mind and the body. Some people become so exhausted that they are unable to function properly, while others are too bored with their monotonous life to think about anything else. It is only when people are introduced to something new that they are able to remember what it was like not to have any cares in the world. They are able to live in a state of bliss, able to live in a world where nothing is out of reach.
