Will To Live Quotes

work. play. passion.

Jim Clark

I had seen these transformations, people who had lost their will to live, coming back from their zombie states and radiating a new life force from their eyes.

To combat death you don't need much of a life, just one that isn't yet finished.

It will generally be found that, as soon as the terrors of life reach the point at which they outweigh the terrors of death, a man will put an end to his life. But the terrors of death offer considerable resistance; they stand like a sentinel at the gate leading out of this world. Perhaps there is no man alive who would not have already put an end to his life, if this end had been of a purely negative character, a sudden stoppage of existence. There is something positive about it; it is the destruction of the body; and a man shrinks from that, because his body is the manifestation of the will to live.

Arthur Schopenhauer
