About This Quote
To understand life is to understand ourselves, and that is both the beginning and the end of education. There are moments when you don't know who you are or what you want to be. Sometimes you don't know what you are doing. And sometimes you don't even know why you're here.
But if you can keep going, keep trying, keep looking for answers, if even once in a while you can say, "I'm heading home," then life becomes a little easier. It's not about what happens around you or even who your friends are. It's about who you are and who knows it better than anyone else - yourself.
