About this Quote

This quote by Jimi Hendrix speaks to the concept that individuals typically admire those who have actually died. It is a commentary on the way that individuals often remember the dead more fondly than the living. It recommends that once someone has died, they are remembered and well known in a manner that they might not have been while they were alive. This might be due to the truth that people are no longer able to criticize or judge the dead, and so they are kept in mind in a more positive light. It is a pointer that we must value and commemorate the living as much as we do the dead. It is a suggestion to make the effort to appreciate those around us while they are still here.
