- Ambrose Bierce

About this Quote

This quote by Ambrose Bierce is a tip that death is not completion of life, but rather the beginning of a brand-new chapter. Death might bring an end to an individual's physical life, but it does not always mean the end of their tradition. After a person passes away, their estate must be settled and dispersed according to their wishes. This procedure is referred to as litigation over the estate, and it can be a long and complex process. The quote serves as a tip that even after death, a person's legacy can survive on through the lawsuits of their estate. It is a tip that death is not the end, however rather a clean slate.
