Virginia WoolfWhen you consider things like the stars, our affairs don't seem to matter very much, do they?
About This Quote
It's easy to take our little problems and frustrations too seriously. It's also easy to forget that when we look up at the stars, or anywhere else in the universe, things that seem so important to us don't really matter much. In fact, if we spent the time and effort to understand all the things we don't understand, we'd probably be too exhausted to do anything. This saying reminds us of how we should not take ourselves and our worries too seriously and allow ourselves to get bogged down by them.
