Coldness Quote by Albert Schweitzer
“There is so much coldness because we do not dare to be as cordial as we are Just as the wave cannot exist for itself but must always participate in the swell of the ocean so we can never experience our lives by ourselves but must always share the experiencing of life that takes place all around us.”
