Quote by Miguel de Cervantes

A person dishonored is worst than dead.

A person dishonored is worst than dead.

Summary

This quote suggests that being dishonored or losing one's honor is seen as worse than death itself. It implies that living without honor, integrity, or respect is a fate far worse than physical demise. It conveys the idea that a person's reputation and honor are crucial aspects of their identity and their value as a human being. Being dishonored signifies the total loss of dignity and self-worth, leaving one in a state that is considered even more undesirable and degrading than death.
