Quote by Eduardo Galeano

We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine.

We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass

Summary

This quote implies that our awareness of our mortality diminishes when we experience the intense pleasure and thrill of a first kiss and the relaxation and contentment that comes from enjoying a second glass of wine. In these moments, we may momentarily forget our own mortality and fully embrace the present, feeling alive and filled with joy. The quote suggests that certain experiences have the power to momentarily transcend our mortal nature and allow us to fully immerse ourselves in the pleasures of life.
