Life when one first arrives is a continual mortification as one's romantic illusions are successively shattered and the musical treasure-house of one's imagination crumbles before the hopelessness of the reality. Every day fresh experiences bring fresh disappointments.

Hector Berlioz
About This Quote

This quote is a great reminder that we can become stuck in a rut and not be able to see the beauty all around us. We tend to fall into a pattern and eventually we stop seeing beauty and realize that we're stuck. The quote has a saying: “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” It reminds us that even though things may seem hopeless, the truth is that the world will always be full of beauty and we will always be able to find it.
