Andrew Sean GreerChange was not something you waited for, quietly, mutely, in a house by the ocean, nothing would ever change unless we forced it into shape.
About This Quote
Although change can be a difficult thing to accept, it is also the only constant in life. Immense change happens every year, every day, and all across the world. Some events are small and some massive. But, the truth is that they are all one in the same.
In life, we cannot expect things to stay the same forever. The best we can hope for is to make the most of them while they are still in this world.
