[Quote No.15240] Need Area: Body > Health
"When I was analyzing I observed clearly that the fear of death was in proportion to not living. The less a person was in life, the greater the fear. By being alive I mean living out of all the cells, all the parts of one's self. The cells, which are denied, become atrophied, like a dead arm, and infect the rest of the body. People living deeply have no fear of death." - Anais Nin
