Life and Death
“I am not afraid of death, and thus I am not afraid to live.” – Pastor John Jackson
“I’m not afraid to die / I’m not afraid to live.” - U2 “Kite”
“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult – once we truly understand and accept it – then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” M. Scott Peck “The Road Less Traveled”
From Star Trek: The Next Generation – episode “The Neutral Zone.” 1988

Capt. Picard: Sounds like someone who hated life. Yet he had himself frozen, presumably so he could go through it all again.
Doctor Beverly Crusher: Too afraid to life, too scared to die.
“For me to live is Christ, and to die gain.” – The Apostle Paul
