Quote by W. Somerset Maugham

Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.

Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened

Summary

This quote suggests that death is a state of non-existence, and therefore, it does not greatly impact either the living or the dead. From the perspective of the living, death hasn't occurred yet, so it cannot influence their current experiences. As for the dead, they cease to exist, implying that they are no longer affected or concerned by anything, including death itself. Overall, the quote emphasizes the idea that death lacks significance and relevance to both the living and the dead.
