Quote by John Dryden

To die is landing on some distant shore.

To die is landing on some distant shore.

Summary

This quote suggests that death is compared to a journey or voyage, where one can imagine it as arriving at an unfamiliar destination or a distant shore. It implies that death should not be seen as an end but rather a new beginning. Just as landing on a foreign shore brings about new experiences and possibilities, death is viewed as a transition to another realm or existence, where one may encounter different realities or opportunities. Instead of focusing on the finality and fear of death, this perspective encourages a more hopeful outlook on the afterlife.
