"Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge"

- Paul Gauguin

About this Quote

This quote by Paul Gauguin speaks with the harsh truths of life and the human desire for vengeance. It suggests that life is often unjust and filled with suffering, and as a result, individuals frequently imagine revenge. This could be revenge against an individual or a circumstance, but in any case, it is a natural action to the pain and suffering that life can bring. It is a reminder that life is not always easy which often we require to take a stand and resist. It is likewise a tip that vengeance is not always the response, and that sometimes it is better to take a step back and take a look at the bigger image.
