“My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning.”

“Fear of death is worse than death itself...”

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

“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.”

“Living is cold and technical without you, a death mask of itself.”

“Death is inevitable. But the meaning people attach to death, its causes and aftermath, is culturally given. Without meaning, without culture making sense of things, life would be impossible.”
