Jump – Because You Never Know…

Posted in Faith, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 13, 2026| Leave a Comment »

I know.  I know that I shall never again meet anything or anybody who will inspire me with passion.  You know, it’s quite a job starting to love somebody.  You have to have energy, generosity, blindness.  There is even a moment, in the very beginning, when you have to jump across a precipice:  if you think about it you don’t do it.  I know I’ll never jump again.
    —     Jean-Paul Sartre

[And if not always happy, then busy and interesting.  Just sayin’.    —    kmab]
