"The secret story is the one we'll never know, although we're living it from day to day, thinking we're alive, thinking we've got it all under control and the stuff we overlook doesn't matter"

This quote by Roberto Bolano speaks with the idea that there is a secret story that we are all living, however will never know. It suggests that we think we have our lives under control, but in reality, there are many things that we ignore and do not focus on. This quote motivates us to take an action back and take a look at our lives from a different point of view. It suggests that we ought to be aware of the things that we don't see, which these things may be more important than we believe. It also implies that we should be open to the idea that there is more to life than what we can see and understand. This quote encourages us to be conscious of the important things that we don't understand, and to be open up to the idea that there is more to life than what we can see and comprehend.
