Quote by Francis H. Bradley

Our live experiences, fixed in aphorisms, stiffen into cold

Summary

This quote suggests that when we try to capture our live experiences and emotions in concise sayings or writings, they lose their vividness and emotional impact. By reducing them to cold epigrams, our genuine and heartfelt expressions become lifeless and devoid of passion. It implies that attempting to convey the richness of life through writing or aphorisms often diminishes the authenticity and vitality of our experiences, merely transforming our heartfelt essence into mundane ink on paper.
