Kevin Powers Quotes About Giving

Quotes about: Giving

• You want to fall, that's all. You think it can't go on like that. It's as if your life is a perch on the edge of a cliff and going forward seems impossible, not for a lack of will, but a lack of space.

And every breath you take reminds you of that fact. So it goes.
