Quote: Efficient Laziness

Quotes and Reviews

There didn't seem to be much point, with things the way they were, but you don't just lie down in the desert and wait to die. You keep going down the road ahead of you, even if you know the end that's waiting for you. You don't know why you keep going. You just do.
—Amiant Soul
