"Life inspires more dread than death – it is life which is the great unknown." ― Emile M. Cioran Topic(s): Death Tags: dread, inspires More From Emile M. Cioran "Isn’t history ultimately the result of our fear of boredom?" "For you who no longer posses it, freedom is everything, for us who do, it is merely an illusion." "Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness." More In Death "I just hope it grows into where it was before because I want my son to see it. I want him to have a positive memory of it going forward, so he can be proud of his daddy."― Scott Stapp "Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death."― Jean Cocteau "For any culture which is primarily concerned with meaning, the study of death – the only certainty that life holds for us – must be central, for an understanding of death is the key to liberation in life."― Stanislav Grof
