Question

I need a response to this quote..."I would rather die standing than live on my knees!"

Answer 1

I take the quote as.. you would rather be someone who stood up for what you belived in and wanted to do rather than staying quiet and being submissives.

Answer 2

Hi there!

In my opinion, this quote means that it would be better to die than to not live up to your full potential. Meaning, that death is preferable to standing down and/or giving up. Dying taking a stand and doing good is better than living, but not being able to fully stand up.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
