Mary BaloghThe longing for something beyond yourself, beyond anything you have ever known or dreamed of?
About This Quote
The longing for something beyond yourself, beyond anything you have ever known or dreamed of. The longing for some greater meaning in life than where we live, what we do and who we love. The longing to find something bigger, brighter and more important than ourselves. You may know someone who has experienced this longing and it is so compelling that they will do nearly anything to fulfill it.
They may travel to distant lands, commit crimes for their cause or give up everything they have ever known in search of that which they desire. Perhaps you are that person yourself. The feeling of seeking what you want is very powerful indeed - so much so that it could drive an individual to trade everything they have ever known for the chance to find it.
