Joseph BrodskyLife–the way it really is–is a battle not between good and bad, but between bad and worse
About This Quote
Life is a battle between good and worse. Life is so much more than the things that we see and do, and it would be a tragedy to let those things define us. The world is full of constant struggle. We spend our time trying to get ahead of others, we try to win people over to our way of thinking, we fight for the jobs we want.
But, life is also full of beauty in the everyday things that go unnoticed by most people. These are the things that make life worth living in spite of the struggles that come with it.
