There is nothing more tragic than to find an individual bogged down in the length of life, devoid of breadth.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is tragic to witness someone who becomes so consumed by the passage of time that they neglect to explore and experience the meaningful aspects of life. It implies that merely living a long life is not enough; one must also seek breadth, or depth and richness, in their experiences. Failing to do so is seen as a tragedy, as it indicates a missed opportunity for personal growth and fulfillment.
