About this Quote

This quote by Edna St. Vincent Millay expresses the virtue as well as naivety of youth. As children, fatality is not completely recognized as well as the viciousness of the globe is protected from them. The kingdom of childhood is a secure area where death is not a prominent hazard and also for that reason, it is considered an utopia. Nevertheless, the second line of the quote adds a much deeper meaning. The phrase "Nobody that matters, that is" suggests that fatality is only a concern if it impacts somebody of importance. Thus, the quote touches on the suggestion of advantage as well as the reality that certain individuals are valued greater than others.
