Quote by Joan Baez

You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can decide how you're going to live now.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. Yo

Summary

This quote emphasizes the unpredictable nature of death, implying that we have no control over the circumstances of our end. However, it encourages us to focus on the present moment and make conscious choices about our lives. It suggests that instead of fixating on an uncontrollable future, we should actively decide how we want to experience and embody our existence starting from now. By embracing this approach, we can empower ourselves to live with purpose, make meaningful decisions, and appreciate the preciousness of every moment.

The majority of persons choose their wives with as little prudence as they eat. They see a troll with nothing else to recommend her but a pair of thighs and choice hunkers, and so smart to void their seed that they marry her at once. They imagine they can live in marvelous contentment with handsome feet and ambrosial buttocks. Most men are accredited fools shortly after they leave the womb.
