Quote by Terry Pratchett

It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.

It is often said that before you die your life passes before

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of one's life passing before their eyes when facing death is not just a momentary event, but rather an ongoing process throughout life. It implies that living itself is akin to experiencing a flash of memories and experiences when nearing the end. In essence, every moment we live is a part of this sequence, making us aware of the continuous passage of time, the significance of each experience, and the value of making the most of our lives.
