About This Quote
In this quote, the author, Le Corbusier, was speaking against the public cemeteries in his day. He believed that cemeteries should be a place of beauty and tranquility for the deceased. They should not be thrown away after a single death. Those who fear change will find themselves in a state of decay, and will be doomed to repeat their lives again and again until they learn to adapt to change.
