About This Quote
When you go through life, you don't know what you're doing, but you do it. You make things happen; you make decisions; you act. You do things that other people wouldn't dare to do. You probably don't know why you do these things. But you know for sure that if you could listen to yourself, it would be the greatest piece of music you'd ever heard.
