Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there.

To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly

Summary

This quote highlights the idea of dying with dignity and choosing to end one's life on their own terms. It suggests that there can be a noble and courageous aspect to accepting death when one can no longer maintain their pride or quality of life. The emphasis is on having control over the timing and circumstances of one's death, ensuring a peaceful and meaningful departure while surrounded by loved ones who can witness the act of saying goodbye. This viewpoint implies that by exerting agency in the face of mortality, one can find a sense of closure and achieve a sense of peace before passing away.
