Me and life in a nutshell

[bookgirlwa]

"Books say: she did this because. Life says: she did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books. Books make sense of life. The only problem is that the lives they make sense of are other peoples' lives, never your own."

Gustave Flaubert

I need that tattooed on me. I keep waiting for the third person omniscient voice to tell me what everyone's feelings and motivations are...
