What each of us believes in is up to us, but life is impossible without believing in something.

About This Quote

If you are not sure what you believe in, what makes you truly happy, what you should do with your life, or if you are lost, this quote can be very inspiring. The problem with this quote is that it is often misused. It has become a cliché that people use to give off the impression that they have it all figured out. After all, who would not want to be able to say that they have “something”? This is exactly why it can be dangerous.

The word “something” can mean anything from love to God to rebellion to the nature of the universe. If someone is using this quote as a way to make themselves look better, it will likely come off as hollow and self-serving instead of genuine.
