Summary

This quote suggests that men are only truly willing to sacrifice their lives when it is in the pursuit of freedom. It implies that the concept of dying completely, or the belief in the permanence of death, is not held by those who value freedom. Rather, they see their sacrifices as an affirmation of their belief in a higher cause, which allows them to transcend the limitations of mortality and leave a lasting legacy.
