"Le sens ultime auquel toutes les histoires se réfèrent a deux faces la continuité de la vie l'inévitabilité de la mort"
— Italo Calvino

Simplified Meaning:
All stories, at their core, deal with two main ideas: staying alive and eventually facing death. Think of a popular movie where the hero fights to save their loved ones and make the most of their time. On one hand, the hero's actions show the importance of living fully and making a difference. On the other hand, the story also acknowledges that everyone has to face the end someday. This combination gives stories depth and makes them relatable, reminding us of our own lives. To use this wisdom, focus on living meaningfully each day, while also accepting that life is limited, which can motivate you to make the most of your time.
