Death Quote by Jeremy Limn
“Overcome the fear of death, how so? To use fear to drive forward, from the past the future. Play no guilt trap. I guess the idea is to use, the thought of death as a pusher to move forward. If you've no food, push forward. I also say, that the thought of dying is more powerful than the thought of paying a bill. It seems to me man fears paying a bill rather than his own death. I used to fear everything, now I don't as I've only death to live for.”
