"Pale Death beats equally at the poor man's gate and at the palaces of kings"
- Horace
About this Quote
This quote by Horace is a suggestion that death is an inevitable part of life, and it does not discriminate in between the abundant and the bad. It is a suggestion that no matter how much wealth or power one has, death will ultimately come for them. It is a suggestion that life is short lived which we must make the most of it while we can. The quote likewise acts as a pointer that we must not be too connected to material possessions, as they will not conserve us from death. It is a pointer that we should concentrate on what genuinely matters in life, such as relationships, experiences, and memories. Eventually, this quote works as a pointer that death belongs of life, and it is something that we need to not fear, however rather accept and embrace.
"Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see"
