I really want Americans, and all of us, to be less afraid of death, and know that it's a passage, but that - don't go to the funeral before the day of the funeral.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We're so afraid of death in our culture, but I think if we understand it better, then we'll appreciate the life we have more.
I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men.
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
I don't fear death so much as I fear its prologues: loneliness, decrepitude, pain, debilitation, depression, senility. After a few years of those, I imagine death presents like a holiday at the beach.
I wish to be a martyr, and I don't fear death.
I'm not afraid of death but I am afraid of dying.
I'm not afraid of death.
If you don't go to other men's funerals, they won't go to yours.
I've laughed hysterically, just trying to hold it in, at every funeral I've been to, because everyone's so serious. And there are a lot of people speaking publicly, which makes you understand why it's people's number one fear - because everyone shouldn't do it.
