Quote by Gwendolyn Brooks

What shall I say, how is the truth to be said? You were born, you had body, you died. It is just that you never giggled or planned or cried.

What shall I say, how is the truth to be said? You were born

Summary

This quote reflects on the nature of existence and the perception of truth. It suggests that the reality of life can be reduced to its basic elements - birth, physical existence, and death. However, it also implies that a life devoid of laughter, planning, and emotions can be seen as incomplete, as these elements are what make life truly meaningful and human. The quote highlights the importance of embracing the full range of human experiences in order to truly live and find truth.
