Yes — one describes it this way: "that's what we live and die by, because if you build up from that foundation, it's going to be strong." It uses "die" figuratively, to express deep commitment to a creative process. For more on the more literal side of the word, see Death quotes.
What's this "Opus Die" reference about?
One speaker mentions it as a pop-culture reference point: "I didn't know anything about Opus Die except from pop culture, like Dan Brown novels, which I knew wasn't really knowing anything about Opus Die." It's presented here exactly as the speaker said it — a comment on how fiction can shape, and limit, what people think they know about something.
Is there a quote about wanting to keep doing something until the end?
Yes — a passionate one: "I feel the ticking clock. And at times, I've said if I don't dance, I'd rather die." It shows how deeply tied to their craft the speaker feels, treating it as essential to who they are. For more quotes about urgency and time running out, browse Dying quotes.
