Quote by Alice Sebold

Heaven is comfort, but it's still not living.

Heaven is comfort, but it's still not living.

Summary

This quote suggests that while heaven may offer a sense of comfort or solace, it does not provide the same experience as living a human life on Earth. It implies that true living involves more than just being in a state of ultimate bliss or tranquility. Life entails challenges, growth, relationships, and the full range of human experiences, which cannot be found in a state of eternal comfort. Thus, the quote highlights the importance of embracing and fully experiencing life in all its complexity, rather than seeking solely for comfort or escape from worldly struggles.

Of all the barbarous middle ages, that which is most barbarous is the middle age of man! it is -- I really scarce know what; but when we hover between fool and sage, and don't know justly what we would be at -- a period something like a printed page, black letter upon foolscap, while our hair grows grizzled, and we are not what we were.

Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is, the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings, the chance to glimpse things never seen before, the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.
