Quote by e. e. cummings

Unbeing dead isn't being alive.

Unbeing dead isn't being alive.

Summary

This quote, attributed to American writer and philosopher E.E. Cummings, suggests that simply not being dead does not equate to fully living or truly experiencing life. Merely existing or going through the motions is not enough to truly feel alive. It emphasizes the need for actively engaging with life, embracing opportunities, pursuing passions, and living with purpose in order to truly experience what it means to be alive.

I know that faith made my life possible and that of many others like me... Reason hardly warranted Anne Sullivan's attempt to transform a little half-human, half-animal, deaf-blind child into a complete human being. Neither science nor philosophy had set such a goal, but faith, the eye of love did. I did not know I had a soul. Then the God in a wise heart drew me out of nothingness with cords of human love and the life belt of language, and lo, I found myself. In my doubly shadowed world faith gives me a reason for trying to draw harmony out of a marred instrument. Faith is not a cushion for me to fall back upon; it is my working energy.
