Chuck PalahniukOnly after disaster can we be resurrected. It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything. Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart.
About This Quote
The world is a beautiful place, but it can also be a dangerous place. Only those who have been affected by the loss of something important will appreciate the beauty of the world as it used to be. In order to appreciate the beauty of the world as it is now, we must first have experienced the loss of something that was once important to us. The more we have lost, the more we can appreciate what we already hold dear.
Sometimes, there is no going back. We have lost so much that there is nothing left for us to hold on to. But if we learn from our experiences and move on with a positive attitude, we can find a way back into our own lives.
