Quote by Alexander Maclaren

Every life has dark tracts and long stretches of somber tint, and no representation is true to fact which dips its pencil only in light, and flings no shadows on the canvas.

Every life has dark tracts and long stretches of somber tint

Summary

This quote highlights the inherent truth that every life experiences difficulties and moments of sadness. It suggests that any representation or depiction of life that solely focuses on the positive aspects is not an accurate reflection of reality. Just as an artist incorporates shadows and darker tones in their canvas to bring depth and authenticity, so too should our understanding of life encompass both the bright and the dark. It reminds us to recognize and acknowledge the hardships and challenges that shape us, ensuring a more comprehensive and genuine outlook on existence.
