You're misusing that quote. The speaker (a sentient taxicab) was asked if it would abandon its life and make a giant sacrifice even though it was absolutely certain that doing so would not change the outcome.

That's pretty much the opposite of the point of view you seem to be extolling. You are right now living a uniquely special easier life. You are choosing not to sacrifice it for the hope of a better outcome, even though it may not be possible.
