“We are all alone born alone die alone and in spite of True Romance magazines we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that in spite of our company we were alone the whole way I do not say lonely at least not all the time but essentially and finally alone This is what makes your self-respect so important and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness”
— Hunter S. Thompson
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone starts life alone and ends life alone. Even if we have friends and family, in the end, we go through life by ourselves. This is why it's important to respect yourself, because true happiness can't depend on others.
