About This Quote

I said to myself, "I want to die decently." is a line from the play "Macbeth". The character was saying that he wanted to die like a man: as a soul that has served his purpose and lived to the best of his ability. The line is also a reference to how we should live our lives; we should live them as we should not live our lives as we want, but as we should live them. We all have our own idea of what's right and wrong.

In many instances, our ideas are at odds with what society thinks is right or wrong. If you want to be understood by others, you have to be willing to say out loud what you think is right or wrong even if people don't agree with it.
