You next, " he said. "Out of those clothes and into bed." She nodded but didn't move from Sally's side. The thought of undressing exhausted her. Where would she find the strength such a task would require?" I'm filthy. I'll ruin the new bed."" I'll bring you some fresh water."" I've no clothes to change into." His grin was downright wicked.

About This Quote
It is good to have a goal. It is even better when you set out to accomplish it. However, sometimes you can get so caught up in the process that you forget what the goal was in the first place. This situation would be akin to someone being so wrapped up in getting clean clothes that he forgot why he wanted them in the first place.
He is just trying to get clean clothes but is forgetting why he wanted them in the first place. To be fair, sometimes people have goals in mind that are just too big to accomplish right away. If you are someone in this situation, then instead of giving up, you should remember why you started out and then pick a goal that is within reach right now.
If you put yourself back into this position and then pick a smaller goal, such as getting only one pair of clean underwear, you will find that your task will get easier and easier each time you do it.
