Its better to burn out than fade away.
Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.
It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature

Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.
You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.
