There's no point living at my age with many ingrained great fears.
The real malady is fear of life, not of death
If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life - and only then will I be free to become myself.
Death happens but once, yet we feel it every moment of our lives; it is worse to dread it than to suffer it.
I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of living.
Life is always frightful. We cannot help it and we are responsible all the same. One's born and at once one is guilty.
The biggest fear of my life is living. My second biggest fear is dying.
Most people tiptoe their way through life, hoping they make it safely to death.
I've met talespinners before, Jake, and they're all cut more or less from the same cloth. They tell tales because they're afraid of life.
Those who hate to go to bed fear death; those who hate to get up fear life.
No one can have a peaceful life who thinks too much about lengthening it.
People are afraid to die, and even more afraid to live.
My only fear is that I may live too long. This would be a subject of dread to me.
I am touched by your beautiful anxiety about life.
