Quote by Samuel Butler

Life is not an exact science, it is an art.

Life is not an exact science, it is an art.

Summary

This quote highlights that life cannot be precisely defined or controlled like a science; instead, it is more akin to an art form. Life involves various subjective elements and unpredictable experiences that cannot be attributed to a formula or set of rules. It suggests that we have the freedom and creativity to shape our lives in unique ways, just as artists do in their work. Life requires embracing spontaneity, intuition, and personal expression, allowing us to find beauty and fulfillment in the inherent uncertainties of existence.
