Favorable Quote: "A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it." - G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man.
Though I am not a christian devout, I like the quote because it reminds me of my greatest fear, which is not necessarily the loss of life or limb, or induction of pain and hunger. It reminds me that one of the most diluting things in this world is stagnation, and the realization and enduring of it as one of the most sobering and gnashing. To have familiarity is a blessing and for humans, a necessity, but when nothing new happens we fade into nothingness.
