Quote by Marcus Aurelius

“To my soul: Are you ever going to achieve goodness? Ever going to be simple, whole, and naked - as plain to see as the body that contains you?

“When you are bored, restless, longing for something more, unfulfilled, feeling like you've settled, haunted by the sense of being trapped in your own life, these are the deep waters of your soul speaking to you, telling you something is wrong, something is missing, something needs to change.”
