About This Quote
In this quote from the movie "The Edge of Glory", Will Ferrell's character, Buddy Garrity, is thinking about making a speech to a bunch of high school graduates. In the speech, he lists some things that he thinks are amazing, and his most memorable line is: "how death wins hands down." This sums up the idea that death is the only thing that can win against life. Even though death can win against something as powerful as life, it does not mean that it should be taken lightly. Life is very powerful and because of this, one must always take death seriously.
