About This Quote

"When the suicide arrived at the sky, the people there asked him: "Why?" He replied: "Because no one admired me." The great poet William Shakespeare wrote this poignant quote in his play “Macbeth.” He was speaking about a man who killed himself because of his own lack of respect from others. The word “admire” is a little difficult to translate, but it describes an individual feeling great respect and admiration for another person or thing.
