“Sensationalism dies quickly, fear is long-lived.”
“a sensation is always the same as a piece of news, and a piece of news never lives long.”
“The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying says that death is the graduation ceremony, while living is just a long course in learning and preparing for the next journey. If we acknowledge death as the beginning, then how can we fear it?”
“People who live life in fear of taking risks die without living it.”
“Now they stumbled in the shackles of humanity, lived in a fear that never died, fretted by a law they could not understand; their mock-human existence began in an agony, was one long internal struggle, one long dread of Moreau - and for what? It was the wantonness that stirred me.”
“Sometimes I think the fear of dying is really a fear that you're not living the life you want.”
