About this Quote

This quote by Robert Green Ingersoll talks to the power of love and the inevitability of death. He is suggesting that it is much better to live a life filled with love and enthusiasm, even if it is finite, than to live permanently without love. He is highlighting the importance of living life to the fullest and cherishing the minutes we have with those we enjoy. He is likewise recommending that death is a natural part of life and ought to not be feared. Rather, we need to welcome it and use it as a pointer to maximize our time here in the world. Ingersoll is suggesting that life is too short to not take risks and to not love deeply. He is encouraging us to make the most of our time here and to not take life for approved.
