“Death waits for me, I know it, around
one corner or another.
This doesn't amuse me.
Neither does it frighten me.”

“I wanted to forget the past, but it refused to forget me; it waited for sleep, then cornered me.”

“Death is an old friend; I know him well. I lived with him, ate with him, slept with him; to meet him again does not frighten me—death is as necessary as birth, as happy in its own way.”

“The past attracts me, the present frightens me, because the future is death.”

“I've always had this deep-down conviction that I'm not like everybody else, and there's an amazingly exciting new life waiting for me just around the corner.”

“Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged. Missing me one place, search another. I stop somewhere waiting for you.”

“That's the kind of death that frightens me. The shadow of death slowly, slowly eats away at the region of life, and before you know it everything's dark and you can't see, and the people around you think of you as more dead than alive.”

“Trouble seems to follow me around, waiting to club me with a tire iron.”

“Death waits for no man - and if he does, he doesn't usually wait for very long.”

“And I was waiting over here for life to begin, I was looking for the new thing And you were the sunshine heading my front line. I was alone you, were just around the corner from me. ~ "Life On A Chain"”
