The Consolations of Twitter

Today we are especially enjoying Alain de Botton’s elegant, aphoristic tweets on life, love, religion, relationships and writing:

‘With age, you realise certain things just can’t be fixed — and start to take frivolity more seriously’

‘We want two incompatible things of our universities: that they teach us how to make a living — and teach us how to live’

‘Writing a book has about it some of the anxiety of telling a joke and having to wait several years to know whether or not it was funny’

Follow Alain on Twitter for more.
