Adventure Quote by Ken Wytsma

“. . . we are all giving our lives away--the only question is, to what? We spend ourselves on television, money, power, sex, leisure, adventure, and fame. They are a bad investment. If we look for life by spending ourselves here, we look in vain.” quote by Ken Wytsma — Download Open image
