Good enough Quote by Karen Brichoux
““ The moment isn't a piece of time; it's a question. The moment comes when you look up and see your life stretching out for seventy more years. And there, in front of you, like a giant roadblock, is the question: Is this life good enough for the next seventy years? But maybe that's the easy question. The next logical question-- Can I live like this? --is the killer. Because it isn't a yes or no kind of question. It's a do or die kind of question. I avoid moments.””
