But my point, you see is that death is misunderstood. The loss of one's life is not the greatest loss. It is no loss at all. To others, perhaps, but not to oneself.

About This Quote

The greatest loss is not dying, but dying without having lived fully. The purpose of life, for me, is to give my life meaning. It is to give it a sense of purpose. If I stop doing what I am doing because I am afraid, then perhaps I have lost my life. And if I stop doing it out of fear of death, then I have not really lived at all.
