Famous lines from literature we tend to misinterpret
1. **Seize the day** \- More accurately translated as 'Pluck the day'
2. **Ignorance is bliss** \- Exclusively referring to the ignorance of youth
3. **Hell is other people** \- Not 'People are the worst' but 'The worst pain is social'
4. **Life is short, art is long** \- Doesn't mean ‘Beauty lasts forever’ but ‘Mastery takes ages’
5. **Wherefore art thou Romeo** \- Wherefore doesn’t mean Where but Why
6. **To thine own self be true** \- Spoken by a petty liar and a snoop
7. **The road less traveled** \- Not about nonconformism (the 2 roads were equally well-traveled!)
8. **Religion is the opium of the masses** \- Not 'Believers are stupid' but 'Oppression drives people to self-medicate with religion'
Know any more fun ones?
