Quote by Mark Twain

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities Truth isn't.

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is

Summary

This quote suggests that reality can often be more bizarre and surprising than anything that can be imagined or created in fiction. The reason for this is that fiction relies on staying within the bounds of what is possible or believable, while truth has the freedom to explore the limitless and unexpected. Truth has no constraints and can venture into realms that fiction cannot, leading to experiences and events that can be more astonishing and strange than anything that could be fabricated.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.

Henry David Thoreau

I think the most interesting parts of human experience might be the sparks that come from that sort of chipping flint of cultures rubbing against each other. And living on the border between Mexico and the U.S. for so many years gave me a lot of insight into that.
