Quote by Kilroy J. Oldster

“Running the gauntlet of the trials and tribulations of life, we accumulate an array of useful habits and self-defeating behavior.

We must ruthlessly discard the bad habits of yesterday along with any notion that one will appease a restless soul’s willful temperament with acceptance of any degree of personal slovenliness.

Rejection of all forms of personal inadequacy and casting aside familiar tapestries opens our eyes to rediscover the unsullied sensation of living vigorously.”
