My brain I'll prove the female to my soul; my soul the father: and these two beget a generation of still-breeding thoughts, and these same thoughts people this little world.

William Shakespeare
About This Quote

The quote, “My brain I’ll prove the female to my soul; my soul the father; and these two beget a generation of still-breeding thoughts, and these same thoughts people this little world,” is an example of how important it is to keep moving forward. Thomas Hobbes wrote that the purpose of our lives is to reproduce ourselves. That sounds like a great goal, but it doesn’t take into account all the rest of life. It certainly doesn’t help us understand what makes us tick.

When we feel stuck, it’s because we’ve lost sight of what really matters. We become complacent and lose sight of what keeps us moving forward. That’s why this quote is so important.

If we can learn to keep moving forward, we will find that there are many reasons to keep living.
