the story of life, death and love
The quotation expresses the frailty of life and the secret of how to live to the fullest extent. Morrie developed a respect for life as he was dieing, which he wanted to share with Mitch.

Aphorism: a brief statement of truth or principle
This quotation has drastically changed my life, in ways that i cannot begin to fathom. "Tuesdays with Morrie" was not the first time i saw this quotation, though it rekindled the respect for life that i always should have. I strive to live every day to it's fullest, even though I rarely succeed. I've developed a respect for life, friends, family, and death through this quotation.
This quotation has proven to be true in many stories including "The Seventh Tower" by Garth Nix. In the series a young boy named Tal is fascinated with life outside of the seven towers when he suffers a near death experience. his fascination grows to determination when the leaders of his civilization attempt to rid themselves of Tal and his friend Milla, a foreign girl from a forgotten community.
A character from history who knows much about death and destruction is Mohandas Gandhi. Having his father die in 1885 opened his eyes to the serious wrong-doings in the world. He led protests around South Africa and India where he voiced his opinion about what rights humans have.
