Alexandre DumasWhen you compare the sorrows of real life to the pleasures of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever.
About This Quote
The imaginary life we create for ourselves is filled with happiness and peace. It is filled with all the things that we want, but the real world is all too often filled with pain and anguish. The real world is a harsh place where even the most positive of people cannot always find happiness. When we compare our imaginary world to our reality, we can see that what we need to do is stay positive and never give up hope for a better life.
