Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of a perfect life is not attainable by humans alone and is instead an idealized story created by a higher power. It implies that God constructs these parables to teach valuable lessons or to provide inspiration, which cannot be replicated in reality. It reinforces the idea that humans should not strive for perfection but rather embrace the imperfect nature of life as it is part of a larger divine plan.

For my own part, I declare I know nothing whatever about it. But to look at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots of a map representing towns and villages. Why, I ask myself, should the shining dots of the sky not be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France? If we take the train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star. One thing undoubtedly true in this reasoning is this: that while we are alive we cannot get to a star, any more than when we are dead we can take the train.

A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by conventional faiths. Sooner or later such a religion will emerge.

I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds of movies.
