Quest - a thrust unquestionable..

“You have given me deeper thirsting after life. Surely there is no greater gift to a man than that which turns all his aims into parching lips and all life into a fountain. And in this lies my honour and my reward, – That whenever I come to the fountain to drink I find the living water itself thirsty; it drinks me while I drink it.” – Khalil Gibran
