Quote by Jeanne Moreau

You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One's aim in life should be to die in good health. Just like a candle that burns out.

You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of taking care of one's physical and mental well-being. It suggests that we shouldn't wait until we are sick or on the verge of collapsing to prioritize our health. Instead, the goal should be to live a fulfilling life and maintain good health until the end. The analogy of a candle burning out implies that we should strive to live our lives fully and expend our energy gradually, rather than burning ourselves out prematurely. Ultimately, it encourages individuals to prioritize self-care and strive for a balanced and healthy life.
