“There seemed nothing to do but live.”

“When it seems you have nothing at all to live for, death is not especially frightening.”

“Nothing seems to have changed from those days, when Christian lives were more precious than the lives of the “infidels.””

“Whether we change our lives or do nothing, we have responded. To do nothing is to do something.”

“Nothing but writing rests me; only then do I seem completely myself!”

“A mind lively and at ease, can do with seeing nothing, and can see nothing that does not answer.”

“I have a sort of empty feeling; nothing in the world seems of sufficient importance to be worth the doing.”

“Honey, we all got to go sometime, reason or no reason. Dyin’s as natural as livin’; man who’s afraid to die is too afraid to live, far as I’ve ever seen. So there’s nothing to do but forget it, that’s all. Seems to me”

“By facing mortality, it seems to inform how you live. So, the secret is that facing death has a lot to do with living well…”

“I have been merely oppressed by the weariness and tedium and vanity of things lately: nothing stirs me, nothing seems worth doing or worth having done: the only thing that I strongly feel worth while would be to murder as many people as possible so as to diminish the amount of consciousness in the world. These times have to be lived through: there is nothing to be done with them.”
