We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

About This Quote

When Mark Twain said, “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars,” he was speaking about the choices that define our lives. He was also pointing out that there is no one better than any other person to make any given choice. His point was that we are all human beings who make mistakes and learn from them.
