Always Quote by Maxwell
“So many times, people want you to stay the way you were, be as you were before because they want to encapsulate you in a time so they can remember their youth. But you're here to continually push forward and move forward. That's where I'm at - I just want to always surprise people.”

I can't remember the exact first time, but I can remember the effect his voice had on me.” quote by Robert Davi](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2ac/robert-davi-17031_effects_everyone-young-and-old-was-responding-to_2204746.jpg)
