I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work,” he said. “I want to achieve it by not dying.” But

I don’t want to achieve immortality by being inducted into the Hall of Fame. I want to achieve immortality by not dying.” — William De Morgan

I don't want to earn my living, I want to live.

I don't want to die. I want to live. I want to live long enough so I can really live.

"I don’t want to die while I'm still alive.

I don't want to die.

I don't want to die as long as I can work; the minute I can not, I want to go.

I wanna live. I don’t wanna die. That’s the whole meaning of life: Not dying! I figured that shit out by myself in the third grade

What am I? I am the desire not to die. I have always been impelled — not that evening alone — by the need to construct the solid, powerful dream that I shall never leave again. We are all, always, the desire not to die. This desire is as immeasurable and varied as life's complexity, but at bottom this is what it is: To continue to be, to be more and more, to develop and to endure. All the force we have, all our energy and clearness of mind serve to intensify themselves in one way or another. We intensify ourselves with new impressions, new sensations, new ideas. We endeavour to take what we do not have and to add it to ourselves. Humanity is the desire for novelty founded upon the fear of death. That is what it is.

I don't want to die. Please don't let me die.

I should not want to live unless I could live to do some good to others.

I don't want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!

Please — please don't kill me — I don't want to die. I just want to have my baby.

The purpose of my life is to put off dying as long as possible.
