When I’m in a particularly bad mood, and I read a quotation like this, I usually respond with a silent, “Oh yeah, how?”

What can I do about the width and depth of my life? You’re telling me I can’t make myself live longer, but I can make my life fuller. Then you don’t bother to tell me what I can do to make it fuller.

Actually, Evan Esar might have continued to tell me what I could do to make my life fuller, but that part didn’t make the quote. That’s how quotes are. They give you a glimpse into what an author said, enticing you to read more.

Evan Esar was an American humorist, so it doesn’t appear that he talked at length about making your life wide and deep. He did, however, say many witty things. You can read more in his book, 20,000 Quips & Quotes.
