About This Quote

When Paul Newman said, “Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep,” he was speaking about the importance of peeling away the layers that make up our lives. Not only are there many layers to life, but also many feelings that come with each layer. When you learn to live with all the feelings that come with life, you can begin to build a life that is rich and full of meaning.
