Wisdom Quote by Isak Dinesen — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Dr Sass…maintained that in paradise, until the time of the fall, the whole world was flat, the back-curtain of the Lord, and that it was the devil who invented a third dimension. Thus are the words ‘straight’, ‘square’, and ‘flat’ the words of noblemen, but the apple was an orb, and the sin of our first parents, the attempt at getting around God. I myself much prefer the art of painting to sculpture”

“I have been trying for a long time to understand God. Now I have made friends with him. To love him truly you must love change, and you must love a joke, these being the true inclinations of his own heart.”

“And if you think I've acted foolishly, maybe I'm being charged with folly by a fool.”

“Old words are reborn with new faces.”

“We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.”

“LAUGH NOW CRY LATER”

“Life is a journey, Frannie darling," Feagan had once told me. "Choose well those with whom you travel.”

“Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age.Nothing does --- except wrinkles.It's true,some wines improves with age.But only if the grapes were good in the first place”
