David SedarisAt the end of a miserable day, instead of grieving my virtual nothing, I can always look at my loaded wastepaper basket and tell myself that if I failed, at least I took a few trees down with me.
About This Quote
When you do something that you know is wrong, and yet you continue to do it anyways, it takes a toll on your soul. The moment you realize that what you’re doing is wrong is usually the moment when you start to feel the weight of the world. It is an important moment for those who live by honesty and integrity. In some cases, those who live by these standards have to take more than just a few trees down. They have to take their entire lives away from them as well.
