When I look for my existence, I do not look for it in myself.

I have not asked for life.
But I try to accept whatever
life brings without surprise.
And I shall depart again without having
questioned anyone about my strange
stay here on earth.

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

It's not my time to die.

That which I am, I am; I did not seek
For life, nor did I make myself.

I'll fight when needed, revel when there's an occasion, mourn when there is grief and die if my time comes...But I will not let anyone use me against my will.

I shall die, but I will not kill.

As I have not worried to be born, I do not worry to die.

I do something in my own time.

Do not grieve, my friend, my dearest friend. I am ready to go. And John, it will not be long.

When I die, I will not see myself die, for the first time.

I'm not scared of dying And I, don't really care If it' s peace you find in dying
Well then, let the time be near.

I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.
