Quote by Elizabeth Isaacs

...no one has ever doubted you would die for those you love ... the question then becomes would you live?--The Secret of the Keepers

...no one has ever doubted you would die for those you love

Summary

This quote suggests that it is commonly assumed that individuals would be willing to sacrifice their lives for their loved ones without hesitation. However, it challenges this notion by posing the question of whether they are equally ready to truly live for the ones they care about. It emphasizes the importance of actively embracing life, seeking happiness, and being present for the people we love beyond the act of self-sacrifice. In essence, the quote prompts self-reflection on the significance of both living and dying for loved ones.
