A Quote by Frederick Lenz

This concern with life, this over concern with life, is just an escape, just a fear. Death is there, deep inside - growing.

There are no choices that are really a detour that will take you far from where you're wanting to be - because your Inner Being is always guiding you to the next, and the next, and the next.
