Quote by Greg McKeown

“Life doesn't have to be as hard and complicated as we make it. Each of us has -- as Robert Frost wrote -- "Promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep." No matter what challenges, obstacles or hardships we encounter along the way, we can always look for the easier, simpler path.”

I just have to concentrate on maintaining that effort so that one day all the dominoes will come down in the right way.”

“Attempting to alleviate loneliness and unhappiness through technologically mediated interactions is simply a self-defeating approach. It’s an error akin to trying to quench thirst with brackish water. Just as consuming such water perpetuates the feeling of thirst, the more we depend on technology to address our spiritual and social needs, the more pronounced our sense of alienation and internal emptiness will become.”

“If someone in that category asks me whether he should keep going, I don’t have an answer. I have questions.
