“Better pass boldly into that other world in the full glory of some passion than fade and wither dismally with age”
— James Joyce
Simplified Meaning:
This quote means it's better to live your life boldly and with excitement, even if it’s risky, rather than slowly wasting away without truly living. Imagine you have a dream to travel the world but keep postponing it because you're afraid or think you have time later. If you wait too long, you might never get the chance due to getting older or other responsibilities holding you back. By taking action and embracing your dreams and passions, you experience life fully and create wonderful memories. For example, someone who follows their love for music and becomes a musician might face struggles but feels alive and fulfilled. In contrast, someone who never pursues their interests, just goes through the motions of daily routines, might look back with regret. The advice here is to chase your dreams now rather than waiting for a "perfect" time that might never come.
