About this Quote

This quote by Julian Barnes speaks with the difference in between books as well as life. Books provide understanding and description, giving us with the reasons why things occur. Life, on the other hand, is a lot more strange and unforeseeable. Life does not always supply us with the answers we seek, as well as often we are delegated draw our very own final thoughts. This quote encourages us to look beyond the descriptions given by books and to check out the unknowns of life.

Life is a trip of exploration and exploration, and also it is important to accept the unidentified and also to be open to the opportunities that life uses.
