About This Quote
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. The interpretation of this quote varies, but one common interpretation is that most people are merely existing on the planet, without having had any life of their own. A better interpretation is that being alive means being part of something that really matters. A person who has never truly lived will never have done anything significant with their life.
