Arrogance Quote by Robyn Davidson

“That arrogance of youth and that kind of ignorant confidence can get you through a whole lot of things, and then life does its stuff, and you get smashed around and beaten up. You get full of doubts, and you end up making a person out of those bits and pieces.” quote by Robyn Davidson — Download Open image
