You must be more alive than life. You must see darkness danceand hear silence sing. You must be more awake than lightfor we aren’t born sleepingand we shouldn’t live sleeping. Only then will death’s slumberbecome sweet.

About This Quote

The poet Frederic Chopin writes in the preface to his second book that, "The poetic language of most people is three-quarters of truth, and one-quarter of poetry. It is not too much to say that most men live in a kind of sleep, and they waste most of their lives." These words are filled with wisdom. People who are not alive or awake can't fully understand the world around them. Instead, they are locked in their own world. They don't see what's right in front of them, nor can they hear the silence sing.
