Bases Quote by Guy Garvey

“There is temptation to place too much importance on those…” quote by Guy Garvey — Download Open image

“There is temptation to place too much importance on those things that you're meant to do, and not on to little everyday happinesses. I think if you do what makes you happy on a daily basis, your days gather into years and you have a happy life. I don't want to think too far ahead. I want to make sure that I enjoy tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day. And we'll see what happens.”
