In my perception, this quote means that the first sentence cannot be as close to perfect as it can be, until the last sentence is written. Sometimes our writing can go off into directions we never expected, veering of our course and into its own. Don't be alarmed, this is completely normal. What this quote means, in my humble opinion, is that when your story goes off track like it does, that first sentence may no longer hold the importance it did when you started.
When you finish your first draft of your book, your poem, your song, consider this quote. Does your first sentence still hold the same vibrato it did when you hopped on the writing train?
What do you think this quote means? Is your first sentence the best it could be?
