Quote by Wolfgang Riebe

When your dreams turn to dust, vacuum.

When your dreams turn to dust, vacuum.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that when our dreams or plans collapse and what we hoped for seems out of reach, we should pick ourselves up and start over. Just like a vacuum cleaner cleans up dust, it implies that we should clean up the disappointment and failures, and then work towards new aspirations. It encourages resilience, a positive mindset, and the determination to keep moving forward despite setbacks.

Lives are not stories. A day, a month, a year, or a lifetime

Lives are not stories. A day, a month, a year, or a lifetime has no plot. Our experiences are only the raw stuff of stories. The beginnings of our lives are arbitrary; usually their endings come too soon or too late for any neat narrative conclusions.We turn our lives into stories, and, in doing so, we can stop them where we choose. Our stories do in a small way what memoirs and autobiographies do on a grander scale: they allow a self-fashioning that gives remembered lives a coherence that the day-to-day lives of actual experience lack. History, of course, also imposes coherence, but the historian works will less malleable stuff than memory. Memoirs are seamless; good histories disrupt.
