Meaning
This quote reads as a direct ranking of values, putting lived feeling above achievement or status. It can be taken to mean that art and learning are secondary if they do not serve a fuller life, or that outer success is hollow without inward aliveness. It lands when someone is reassessing priorities after burnout, loss, or empty ambition.
