Alive Quote by Elizabeth Lesser

“There's something in our makeup and in our bodies that really wants to luxuriate more in just the joy of being alive and not always consuming, creating, building. There's something inside of us that wants desperately to stop and experience and just be - not just always do.” quote by Elizabeth Lesser — Download Open image
