About This Quote
There is no better way to learn how to live than by dying. Knowing when to die and how to prepare for death is a trait that comes with age and experience. It’s something that must be understood as soon as you reach the point of having even a little bit of life experience under your belt. Whether you choose to die young or not, you can’t truly know what life is all about until you go through the process of preparing yourself for death.
