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’
