“Where there's life, death is inevitable. Dying's easy; it's living that's hard. The harder it gets, the stronger the will to live. And the greater the fear of death, the greater the struggle to keep on living.”

“Almost dying is awfully easy. It's the living that's hard.”

“Dying, dying, someone told me just recently, dying is easy. Living is hard. for everyone.”

“He realized now that to be afraid of this death he was staring at with animal terror meant to be afraid of life. Fear of dying justified a limitless attachment to what is alive in man. And all those who had not made the gestures necessary to live their lives, all those who feared and exalted impotence — they were afraid of death because of the sanction it gave to a life in which they had not been involved. They had not lived enough, never having lived at all.”

“How does he do it? Live. With the fear of death every day. I don't fear death as much as I fear the thought of living.”

“We are always dying, all the time. That's what living is; living is dying, little by little. It is a sequenced collection of individualized deaths.”

“Until we know that death is equal to life, we live in fear.”

“I live in another world, where life and death are memorized.”

“Do not fear death, but rather the unlived life. You don't have to live forever. You just have to live.”

“Death is not the opposite of life but an innate part of it. By living our lives, we nurture death.”
