“Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure.”

“Death makes no sense except to people who have passionately loved life. How can one die without having something to part from? Detachment is a negation of both life and death. Whoever has overcome his fear of death has also triumphed over life. For life is nothing but another word for this fear.”

“Who would fare better in this world of fitful time? Those who have seen the future and live only one life? Or those who have not seen the future and wait to live life? Or those who deny the future and live two lives?”

“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”

“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”

“Life and death live and die in exactly the same spot, the body. It is from there that both babies and cancers are born.”
