A flower in a desert still has no reason to envy a thorn in a rainforest.

About This Quote

The greatest tragedy in life is to live and never live. We all suffer from the greatest tragedy of all: we live and we do not live. We experience the greatest pain and the greatest joy, but we do not experience them fully. The pain of a failed romance, for example, is always overshadowed by the joy of new love.

But when we add on to this feeling of incompleteness, the pain becomes unbearable. Then it is no wonder that people crave their true purpose in life, their passion, their love.
