Love Quote by Ruth Buzzi

Ruth Buzzi’s line carries the particular authority of a performer who made a career out of being underestimated, then indispensable. The “hills and valleys” metaphor is deliberately unglamorous: not the heroic mountain, not the abyss, just the uneven terrain of a working life. It fits an actress whose fame was built in sketch comedy, where status is always provisional and the next job is never guaranteed. The phrasing matters: “all sorts” suggests experience, not theory, and “sometimes” repeats like a gentle shrug, sanding down the sharp edges of disappointment without denying it.

The subtext is a quiet rebellion against the culture of the singular dream. “What you had your heart set out on” evokes the narrative we’re sold early: pick one path, want it hard enough, and the world will comply. Buzzi slips in the counter-programming: the heart is sincere, but it’s not in charge. That could read as consolation; it also reads as liberation. If life reroutes you, you’re not necessarily failing, you’re being rewritten.

What makes the quote work is its insistence on surprise as a form of luck you can’t plan for. “Even better” isn’t motivational-poster optimism; it’s the pragmatism of someone who’s watched doors close and then found a more fitting room. Coming from a comedic actress, it doubles as a performance note: the best outcomes are often the ones you didn’t script, the laugh you didn’t force, the character you didn’t expect to become your signature.
