You know i was just thinking that it's better to die trying [to live your bravest dream] than to live sleeping.
Nothing seemed as scary as waking up at 40 and realizing that I had not lived a very courageous life.
Run towards your fears. Embrace them. On the other side of your greatest fears lives your greatest life.
Life was neither something you defended by hiding nor surrendered calmly on other people's terms, but something you lived bravely, out in the open, and that if you had to lose it, you should lose it on your own terms.
There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as we can.
Death is every man's final critic. To die well you must live bravely.
When a person has lived generously and fought fiercely, she deserves more than sadness at the end.
