Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down, 'Twas sad as sad could be; And we did speak only to break The silence of the sea! All in a hot and copper sky, The bloody Sun, at noon, Right up above the mast did stand, No bigger than the Moon. Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean. Samuel Taylor Coleridge
About This Quote

We all know that the world can be a harsh and cruel place. Even when we are happy, we sometimes feel sadness at our surroundings. Sometimes we feel we could just cut ourselves open and bleed out onto the sands of time, and we would be happy once again. But, there is a way to make yourself happy, you just need to get up and start walking. When you walk down the street, you should be walking with your head held high; even if someone asks you to stop walking, you should stop and look them in the eye before moving on.
