About This Quote
John Milton said, “I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life.” A desire to know why we are here and what we’re supposed to do. We may not all be hungry for the same thing, but we often want to know why we exist and what we’re doing here. And sometimes our greatest question may not even involve ourselves. Are we part of a greater purpose? Are we meant to try and change this world? Are we supposed to be helping someone get out of a bad situation? There is something called the Great Work that is larger than any one person or thing can accomplish alone.
