Rabbi Harold Kushner Quote - Liberty Quotes Blog

"I would rather think of life as a good book.
The further you get into it,
the more it begins to come together and make sense."

Reader comments about this quote:

Nice thoughts, but personal experience tells me just the opposite... life made much more sense thru the eyes of a child than those of a young adult, and that pattern continues. -- Anonymous, Reston, VA, US
The older I get, the more clearly I see how convoluted the simplest things are made by a government bent on misinformation and control. -- J Carlton, Calgary
Government reminds me of a definition of a committee I once heard. " A group of people who individually can do nothing, but as a group can meet together and decide that nothing can be done". -- jim k, Austin
I think the quote is correct as concerns my own life but I agree with you from Reston that public life and world events are still confusing. As far as Carlton's statement he obviously has not read much history about governments and revoulutions and differences of opinion down thru the ages, stuff like The Glorious Revolution in England, The French Revoulution, The American Revolution, The Civil War da da da da. We don't have to be older to understand things just sometimes study more. -- Waffler, Smith
Actually Waffler, a study of the events you mention would only confirm what I've said...it simply repeats itself. Politics doesn't change, it just starts over. "Obviously" you've failed to make the connection. -- J Carlton, Calgary
Taking to mind all aspects of life, this quote is very true. -- Anon
