... a knowledge of how to live was a knowledge of how to die

Summary

This quote suggests that to truly understand how to live life to the fullest, one must also accept the inevitability of death. Knowing how to live is closely intertwined with knowing how to face and approach death, as it reminds us of the transient nature of our existence. By acknowledging our mortality, we are motivated to make the most of the time we have, prioritize what truly matters, and appreciate the present moment. It implies that living and dying are interconnected aspects of the human experience, and that embracing this understanding is essential to leading a meaningful life.
