Mark TwainIt's lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made or only just happened.
About This Quote
On the raft, floating on the water, there was no distractions to get in the way of your life. There was no television, no radio, no internet, and not even any phone calls. Just you and your friends drifting along your separate paths in the world without any form of communication. The thing to remember about life on a raft is that you are always moving forward.
So it is with life. We live our lives drifting through our days, accomplishing what we need to do at that moment.
