Quote by Dean Koontz
Maybe if everything was beautiful, nothing would be.People saw one thing, they swooned over it. They saw this other thing, they pounded it with sticks.Maybe there had to be variety for life to work. Swoon over everything, you get bored. Beat everything with a stick-boring.
Summary
This quote suggests that in order for life to remain interesting and meaningful, there needs to be a balance between appreciating and criticizing different aspects of it. If everything was uniformly beautiful and perfect, people would quickly become bored and lose interest. On the other hand, if everything was constantly criticized or targeted, it would also lose its appeal. The quote highlights the necessity of variety and the importance of finding a middle ground between excessive adulation and constant criticism in order to maintain life's vitality.
