About this Quote

This quote by Barbara Kingsolver speaks with the concept that lots of people lack clearness in their lives. They do not understand what they desire, and when they make a wish, they do not even know what to expect. This speaks with the idea that lots of people lack direction and purpose in their lives. They don't have a clear vision of what they want to accomplish, and they do not have a plan to arrive. This quote is a tip that it is important to take the time to think about what we desire out of life and to develop a strategy to make it take place. It is only when we have a clear vision of what we desire that we can make our dreams a truth.
