Quote by Luigi Pirandello
Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.
Summary
This quote suggests that a true man, someone who possesses consciousness and intellect beyond that of animals and plants, does not merely exist for the sake of existing. Instead, he seeks to create purpose and significance in his life. Rather than simply going through the motions, he strives to give his life value by actively engaging with it and finding meaning in his actions and experiences.
