Quote by Ernest Hemingway

If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

Summary

This quote reflects the harsh reality that the world can be a place that tests and challenges individuals. It suggests that those who possess courage and resilience are often pushed to their limit and may experience hardships or setbacks. However, those who manage to endure and find strength in their brokenness can emerge even stronger. The quote also implies that the world isn't selective in its destructiveness â€“ it is equally capable of destroying the good, gentle, and brave. Furthermore, it suggests that even those who are not exceptionally virtuous will face challenges in life but may not face them as urgently.
