“Thus, I always began by assuming the worst; my appeal was dismissed. That meant, of course, I was to die. Sooner than others, obviously. 'But,' I reminded myself, 'it's common knowledge that life isn't worth living, anyhow.' And, on a wide view, I could see that it makes little difference whether one dies at the age of thirty or threescore and ten-- since, in either case, other men will continue living, the world will go on as before. Also, whether I died now or forty years hence, this business of dying had to be got through, inevitably.”
― Albert Camus, The Stranger

“sick with a wild terror of dying, and yet indifferent to life itself.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“At the sight of the words I love you the desire to stay alive had welled up in him”
― George Orwell, 1984

“It's because I chatter that I do nothing. Or perhaps it is that I chatter because I do nothing.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment
