Death doesn't really worry me that much, I'm not frightened about it... I just don't want to be there when it happens.

And death?
I don’t fear death.
I dread the absence of it.

I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.

We must go through life so inconspicuously that Fate does not notice us.

I'm not afraid to die; I just don't want to be there when it happens

I'm not afraid of death myself, because I'm not gonna know I'm dead. I'm awed a bit by the idea, but I'm perfectly reconciled to it. Certainly I am, as everyone is, reconciled to everyone else's death but their own. They think an exception can be made in their own case.

It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

He who fears death either fears to lose all sensation or fears new sensations. In reality, you will either feel nothing at all, and therefore nothing evil, or else, if you can feel any sensations, you will be a new creature, and so will not have ceased to have life.

I'm so scared of dying without ever being really seen. Can you understand?

I don't really have the fear of death. I think to life. 1

I can state from my own experience that what people fear in death is the loneliness of having to leave this world forever. Though people may not be consciously aware of all the phenomena around them under normal circumstances, the thought that that which makes them themselves will be lost forever is a terribly lonely thing. In sleep, that which is ourselves is not lost, merely forgotten.

It was if we all sensed we'd be gone someday soon in a sudden instant — often it happened in the middle of the night — and didn't want to get involved. Or else it was that none of us wanted to know anybody later on who was the way we were now.

One of the most fundamental of human fears is that our existence will go unnoticed.

When it is time to die, let us not discover that we never lived.
