“They will never be able to prove us right or wrong because we belong to those who never have the courage for anything.”
— Julio Cortazar

Simplified Meaning:
Some people never make big decisions or take risks because they are too scared to try. They stay in their comfort zone and don't do anything that might be challenging or uncertain. This way, no one can say they did something wrong or give them credit for doing something right because they never actually try to do anything significant. For instance, imagine a student who never enters any competitions or tries out for a team. No one will ever know how good they are or what they could have achieved because they never put themselves out there. This quote is a gentle push to have the courage to take on challenges so that people can see what you're capable of.
