About this Quote

This quote by Alma Guillermoprieto recommends that if one desires to become a misconception or legend, they need to pass away young. This could be analyzed in a couple of methods. Firstly, it might be seen as a warning to those who want to end up being a myth or legend, that they should be prepared to die young in order to achieve this. It could likewise be interpreted as a pointer that those who pass away young are typically kept in mind as misconceptions or legends, as their lives are cut short and their stories stay unfinished. Lastly, it might be seen as a tip that those who live long lives might not be kept in mind as misconceptions or legends, as their stories are typically forgotten gradually. Eventually, this quote functions as a suggestion that life is short which one need to make the most of it, as it is impossible to predict when one's life will end.
