I'm not afraid of fear. It's folly, the christian argument that you should live always in view of your death. The only way to live is to forget that you are going to die. Death is unimportant. The fear of it should never influence a single action of the wise man. I know that i shall be struggling for breath, and I know i shall be horribly afraid. I know that I shall not be able to keep myself from regretting bitterly the life that has brought me to such a pass; but i disown that regret. I now, weak, old, diseased, poor, dying, hold still my soul in my hands and regret nothing.
