But you can build a future out of anything. A scrap, a flicker. The desire to go forward, slowly, one foot at a time. You can build an airy city out of ruins.

About This Quote

You can build a future out of anything. That’s the theme of this quote. Sometimes it’s better to start from scratch instead of trying to make something from something that has already been done. It may sound silly but the desire to move forward and become a better person is what makes that possible. When you get a scrap of paper, a flicker of a desire, a flicker of a dream, you can always start building your future with that.
