After which, satisfied with the way he had conducted himself at Meung, free of remorse for the past, confident in the present, and full of hope for the future, he went to bed and slept the sleep of the just.

About This Quote

The story of the hero who killed his own father and went to sleep after which he woke up in a better place is an old tale. It is not surprising that it has been used in many ways. The modern interpretation of this tale is that it serves as encouragement to never give up on your dreams or goals. Rather, just when you feel that you have exhausted all of your options, when you are at your lowest point in life, take the initiative and keep moving forward.
