Quote by Nisami

In the book of life every page has two sides: we human beings fill the upper side with our plans, hopes and wishes, but providence writes on the other side, and what it ordains is seldom our goal.

In the book of life every page has two sides: we human being

Summary

This quote suggests that life is like a book with two sides. On one side, human beings fill the pages with their dreams and aspirations. However, on the other side, or the workings of fate (providence), things often unfold differently from what we had originally planned or desired. It implies that there is a disconnect between our personal goals and what fate has in store for us, reminding us that life is unpredictable and often takes unexpected turns.

Some people draw a comforting distinction between force and violence. I refuse to cloud the issue by such word-play. The power which establishes a state is violence; the power which maintains it is violence; the power which eventually overthrows it is violence. Call an elephant a rabbit only if it gives you comfort to feel that you are about to be trampled to death by a rabbit.
