Great Quotes

“Sometimes and under some conditions it is possible to escape from many things-from prison walls, from false friends, from bad company, from boring people, from old environments-but never from ourselves. When we lie down at night, we are there with our own thoughts-whether we like them or not. When we wake in the morning, we are still there-whether we like us or not. The most persistent thing in life (and, we have no doubt, in death also) is our own consciousness of ourselves. This being so, there is no more pitiable person than he who is uncomfortable in his own company-no matter where he runs, or how fast, or how far.” – Richard L Evans
