About This Quote
The phrase "a penny for my thoughts" is a common saying that expresses the value of a person’s thoughts. Sometimes people think that they have no value because of the current state of the economy. However, if they have no value, then there can be no price for them. In this case, a person could sell their thoughts to get the money to live on, but they would have to realize that their thoughts are worth more after they die.
It may seem funny that people start listening to a dead person’s thoughts while they are still alive, but it does happen. People tend to find comfort in the words of others when they themselves face a tough situation.
