Quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes

Our dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of life, not death--of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of Spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our trumpets, sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will.

Our dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of life

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of remembering and honoring those who have passed away, but also encourages us to focus on living rather than dwelling on death. It reminds us that even though our loved ones may not be physically present, their memories and the impact they made on our lives continue to inspire us. Despite the challenges and uncertainties of life, we should harness the same enthusiasm and vitality that our departed friends possessed when they were younger. Ultimately, it urges us to find courage, hope, and determination within ourselves to embrace life's journey amidst its complexities and the constant interplay of positive and negative forces.

I never felt comfortable in real life very well. It's always been an awkward kind of thing for me and so when I hit the stage I just sensed freedom. I sensed here's a place that I can have all the experiences of life and not feel uncomfortable about it.
