When you want to die, you at least have a goal. You're aiming for something. It's not a good goal, but at least you want something. And you've got anger and fear, but at least you're feeling something.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
This fear of death infused me with the desire to live, and to live harder.
One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die.
You hear about things happening to people - they slip in the bathtub, fall down the stairs, step off the curb in London because they think that the cars come the other way - and they die. You feel you want to die making an effort at something; you don't want to die in some unnecessary way.
Death is the great hope of all life; the desire to expend itself; to be used and consumed by its own longing for itself.
When you get to that point where you don't want to live, and you don't want to die, it's a desperate, horrible place to be. And I just hit my knees. And I had to use 'The Passion of the Christ' to heal my wounds.
We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
You get rid of the fear of death by understanding that it is an integral fact of our existence. You do that through will and reason.
It's a weird feeling when you know you're going to die.
Death is a false fear. When it is here, you won't be. When it's not, you are here.
If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.
