A quote is an excerpt from a person’s life.

A snapshot of the inner workings of their mind translated into a few words, that depict how, when, and why a person lives life the way they do.

And we, as the recipient of these bits of wisdom, often consume them like nourishment: a steak and potato, say, or a Big Mac. Thus, allowing them to trickle down into our collective consciousness where they’ll break down into something useful and perhaps help us become a little smarter, a little better at living life.

But it just doesn’t work that way. It’s never been that easy and probably never will.

Take this one for example.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

I think this is brilliant. And it should be because Mr. Einstein was brilliant. But he was also humble and practical and a firm believer, as far as I can discern, that shit happens, and the more we avoid making stupid mistakes, then the less shit is likely to happen to us.
