“I shall not wholly die; much of me will escape Death”
— Horace

Simplified Meaning:
The quote means that even after a person dies, parts of them will live on in different ways. For example, a writer might live on through their books that continue to be read by people. Similarly, a person can be remembered through the stories their family and friends share about them, their impact on the community, or the values they taught others. Think about how famous people from history, like Martin Luther King Jr., are still talked about today because of the important work they did. This shows that the good things someone does or the love they share can keep their memory alive long after they are gone. So, by doing meaningful things and being kind to others, anyone can make sure that a part of them continues to live on.
