About this Quote

This quote by Adlai E. Stevenson speaks with the deep longing that exists worldwide today. It recommends that material possessions and monetary gain can not satisfy the spiritual hunger that exists worldwide. This spiritual hunger is a deep need for something more than what the world can use. It is a need for a connection to something greater than ourselves, a requirement for meaning and function in life. Stevenson recommends that this spiritual hunger can not be satisfied by material belongings or financial gain, however rather by something more intangible and spiritual. He indicates that the only way to genuinely satisfy this spiritual appetite is to look beyond the material world and to look for a much deeper connection with something higher.
