Quote by Albert Camus

It's no use reminding yourself daily that you are mortal: it will be brought home to you soon enough

It's no use reminding yourself daily that you are mortal: it

Summary

This quote suggests that constantly reminding oneself about our mortality is futile because the reality of our own mortality will eventually become apparent to us in due time. It implies that despite attempts to avoid or ignore the idea of death, it is inevitable and will naturally confront us at some point in our lives. Therefore, it advises against dwelling on this fact and instead encourages us to focus on living our lives fully and making the most of our time.

Now, I say to you today my friends, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
