Life Quote by Lauren Oliver

“I know that life isn’t life if you just float through it. I know that the whole point – the only point – is to find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go. You can build walls all the way to the sky and I will find a way to fly” quote by Lauren Oliver
