About this quote

A darkly comic expression of survivalist gratitude from Tony Montana (Al Pacino) in Scarface (1983), directed by Brian De Palma. The line distills Tony's worldview — shaped by poverty in Cuba and a violent rise through Miami's drug trade — into a simple, pragmatic appreciation for being alive. It has since been widely adopted as an ironic aphorism.
