About This Quote

Shakespeare’s quote, “You that in far-off countries of the sky can dwell secure, look back upon me here; for I am weary of this frail world's decay.” is a powerful statement about how important it is to create something greater than yourself. Sometimes, when we are so focused on ourselves and what we need to survive in this world, we forget about the bigger picture. We forget that our existence is just one piece in a much larger puzzle. It’s easy to get caught up in our own lives and forget that there’s a bigger picture out there that we should all be a part of.
