Any good explaination for having a quorum for a Fail-Over Cluster?

 Can anyone give me a good explaination of why they have a quorum for a Fail-Over Cluster?  Why would you not have it so only when the last server fails does the service end, since only one server is active at a time? Otherwise, why have 3 or 4 servers with the same service, with only one of them active at a time, if you are going to kill the service when only 2 servers fail?  Sounds like a waste of resources.  A quorum on a Load Balancing Cluster makes perfect sense if you need to maintain a fixed amount of capacity, but a Fail-Over Cluster?
