George R.r. MartinMen's lives have meaning, not their deaths.
About This Quote
The purpose of life is not to die, but to live. We all want to experience the meaning of our lives while we are still alive. We like to think that this world is an important place where we get to do great things and help others. Our lives are not worth very much if we die at a young age.
However, our lives aren’t worth very much if we don’t take advantage of them while we are still alive. This quote by the poet John Greenleaf Whittier perfectly captures the theme that men’s lives have meaning, not their deaths. The meaning of life isn’t found in the moment before death, it is found in living every day with purpose.
