Seek Quote by Edward W. Robertson
““It's not the answers, it's that you remember to seek them. Each definition you find brings you one step closer to an unreachable ideal. Don't take that to mean you shouldn't try just because you can never reach it, of course. That's what babies do. Are you a baby?””
About This Quote
The pursuit of answers is valuable; each definition brings you nearer to an ideal that may never be fully attained, yet the effort remains worthwhile.
In simple terms: Seek answers even if the ultimate goal is unreachable.
