About this Quote

This quote by thinker Jean-Paul Sartre is a poetic means of revealing the suggestion that life is brief and ephemeral, which each day is a new possibility to maximize our presence. The statement recommends that every day is a priceless, limited resource that has to be valued and also made the most of, as it will certainly slip away from us as quickly as the sunlight collections. The quote also seems to indicate that daily is a fresh start, an opportunity to begin anew, to establish our objectives and also intentions, and to do what we can to make the world a far better place. Inevitably, Sartre's words are a reminder to live in the present moment, to totally welcome daily as it comes, as well as to maximize the moment we carry this earth.
