Samuel BeckettTo every man his little cross. Till he dies. And is forgotten.
About This Quote
This quote is commonly used as a way to wake up to the fact that death comes for all of us. We all come to the end of our journey sooner or later. The last thing that we do is meet people who are not aware that they will eventually die. That’s part of the reason why life is so important.
Every day, we are given the chance to do things that will influence our lives forever. By the time we are done, it will be too late to realize what we have done and for what purpose. But, it does not matter because we will always remember.
