Quote by Charles de Gaulle

You'll live. Only the best get killed.

You'll live. Only the best get killed.

Summary

This quote suggests that those who are considered the best or most skilled individuals have a higher likelihood of experiencing harm or danger, potentially even death. It implies that living and surviving is a more common outcome for those who are not the top performers in their field or perceived as exceptional. The quote carries a tone of cynicism, perhaps to challenge the notion that success and excellence automatically lead to a advantageous and safe life.
