"There is no such thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness or death. Any attempt to prove otherwise constitutes unacceptable behavior"

This quote by Fran Lebowitz recommends that inner peace is an impression which it is impossible to achieve. She suggests that the only two states of being are uneasiness and death, which any effort to show otherwise is unacceptable. This might be analyzed as a warning against looking for inner peace, as it is an unattainable goal. It might also be seen as a commentary on the human condition, suggesting that we are constantly in a state of unease which death is the only real escape from this. Eventually, this quote works as a suggestion that inner peace is an impression which we need to not pursue something that is difficult to achieve.
