About This Quote
A favorite quote of Dr. Seuss, “I wish I had a memory of that first violent shove, the shock of cold air, the sting of oxygen into new lungs. Everyone should remember being born. It doesn't seem fair that we only remember dying.” This quote captures the feeling that everyone should have a memory of their first breath of air after being born. The sensation of something new and fresh in the world is something that should never be forgotten.
