Unbeing dead isn't being alive.

Unbeing dead isn't being alive.

Summary

This quote, attributed to American writer and philosopher E.E. Cummings, suggests that simply not being dead does not equate to fully living or truly experiencing life. Merely existing or going through the motions is not enough to truly feel alive. It emphasizes the need for actively engaging with life, embracing opportunities, pursuing passions, and living with purpose in order to truly experience what it means to be alive.
