Quote

We all know we're going to die one day, but who wants to think about it? What's sustainable is joy, pleasure and freedom.

Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.

Why fear death? It is the most beautiful adventure in life.

The elimination of the fear of death transforms the individual's way of being in the world.

What is a fear of living? It's being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself - for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don't know what you're here to do, then just do some good.

I have no fear of death. More important, I don't fear life.

Where fear is, happiness is not.

The fear of life, the fear of burdens and of duties, of annoyances and of catastrophes! The fear of life, which makes us, through dread of its sufferings, refuse its joys. Ah! I tell you, this cowardliness enrages me; I cannot forgive it. We must live - live a complete life - live all our life.

We fear that this moment will end, that we won't get what we need, that we will lose what we love, or that we will not be safe. Often, our biggest fear is the knowledge that one day our bodies will cease functioning. So even when we are surrounded by all the conditions for happiness, our joy is not complete.
