Inspirational Quotes on Dissonance

“You have a consistent character yourself and you wish all the facts of life to be consistent, but they never are.

You also want the activity of each separate man to have an aim, and love and family life always to coincide––and that doesn't happen either. All the variety, charm and beauty of life are made up of light and shade.”
