Change Quote by Constantinos P. Cavafis
““Monotony One monotonous day follows another monotonous day, without change. The same things happen, then happen again. The same moments approach, then grow distant. A month passes and brings another month. Anyone can guess what’s coming after: all the tedious events from the day before, until tomorrow looks nothing like tomorrow.””
