It's slang, actually.\n\n"Go away, dude! I'm with someone else. Go die far.  Now, we go our separate ways."\nIt's not a literal translation, I tried to keep the sense and the meaning. Basically, this person is  ending a relationship with someone who keeps insisting.

i think u mean "VIVE la vie" which is french. Literally translated it means "live the life". However, the better translation would be " celebrate life", "live life fully"...something like that.

It's  From "A Death in the Family" by James Agee.\nThe full quote is\n\n"How far we all come. How far we all come away from ourselves. You can never go home again." \n\nIt's a story about a family dealing with the accidental death of the father.  See my source link to read more.\n\n(One interpretation:  Once you grow up and have your own life, even if you physically return to your childhood house, you can't return to that place of innocence and safety -- it's never "home" as it once was because you are a different person.)

Living is doing any and everything you want to do for you. Doing what pleases you and makes you happy. Being yourself and not letting anyone tell you different. Making a difference in life and being on the top. Being a leader and not a follower.
