“ At one time or another we are all called to leave the safety of our homes, the certainty of what we know, the illusions of who we are. Not everyone will heed this call, of course.

We risk dying without knowing what it is to live. ”

We eat fast food so that we can go to bed on time, but, trust me, everyone wakes up too late. ”
