Quote by Gaston Bachelard

To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.

To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresse

Summary

This quote suggests that truly experiencing and living life to the fullest may result in difficulties expressing that experience to others. When someone tries to articulate their life experiences too perfectly, it indicates a detachment from actually living in the moment. The essence of living lies in raw and imperfect experiences rather than meticulously crafted expressions. Therefore, the quote encourages embracing the imperfections of life and allowing the rawness of experiences to shape one's journey, rather than getting caught up in portraying them perfectly to others.
