“Do you know what's one mistake we always make? Believing that life's immutable, that once you get on a particular track you have to follow it to the end of the line. But it appears that fate has more imagination than we do. Just when you think you're in a situation you can't escape from, when you've reached the lowest depths of total desperation, everything changes as fast as a gust of wind, everything's overturned; from one second to the next you find you're living a new life.” ThinkingKnowsLifeBelieveEndsNextImaginationLinesMistakeSituationFateParticularWindDepthTrackDo You KnowLowestDesperationNew LifeThings ChangeOne Mistake Author:Susanna Tamaro
“You know, that's what I've regretted the most, that joy. Of course, later there were times when I felt happy, but happiness is to joy what an electric light bulb is to the sun. Happiness always has an object, you're happy because of something, it's a condition whose existence depends on external things. Joy, on the other hand, has no object. It seizes you for no apparent reason; it's like the sun- its burning is fueled by its own heart.” KnowsHeartReasonHandsLightJoyCoursesFeltExistenceSunConditionsObjectsDependsBurningElectricBulbsLight BulbElectric Light Author:Susanna Tamaro
