“The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.”

“Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are.”

“How do I get past my fears? Make a life for myself? Risk loving someone? When death is all that waits for you, what's the point in trying to have a life?”

“There is a fear of voluptuousness that is itself voluptuous, just as a certain fear of death can itself be deadly.”

“Do the thing you fear the most and the death of fear is certain.”

“Do I fear death? No, I am not afraid of being dead because there's nothing to be afraid of, I won't know it. I fear dying, of dying I feel a sense of waste about it and I fear a sordid death, where I am incapacitated or imbecilic at the end which isn't something to be afraid of, it's something to be terrified of.”
