"事実はフィクションよりも奇妙である、しかしそれはフィクションが可能性に固執しなければならないからである事実はそうではない。"

Mark Twain

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, real-life events are more unusual and surprising than stories made up by writers. This happens because fiction, like books and movies, has to make sense and follow certain rules so people believe the story. However, real life doesn't have to follow these rules, so it can be much more unexpected and odd. For example, if you read a novel about a person surviving being struck by lightning multiple times, you might think it's too unbelievable. But there are real people who have actually survived multiple lightning strikes. This real-life event seems stranger than what a writer could come up with because writers have to keep their stories realistic, while reality does not have such limits. In day-to-day life, this idea can teach us to be open-minded and prepared for unexpected events, recognizing that life can surprise us in ways we never imagined. Keep an open mind because real life can be more surprising and fantastic than anything you can read about in a story.
