“Healthy children will not fear life if their elders have integrity enough not to fear death.”

“Fear is healthy. I wish it came in a pill. I'd bottle it up and sell it to little children and the elderly.”

“Men fear death as children fear to go into the dark and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other”

“I once feared death. It is said that death begins with the absence of life. And life begins when death is no longer feared. I have stared death in the eye and survived.”

“Never in my life have I feared death as much as I feared that resurrection.”

“Death is the end of the fear of death. [...] To avoid it we must not stop fearing it and so life is fear. Death is time because time allows us to move toward death which we fear at all times when alive. We move around and that is fear. Movement through space requires time. Without death there is no movement through space and no life and no fear. To be aware of death is to be alive is to fear is to move around in space and time toward death.”
