The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Mark Twain
I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live.

Tell them i had a wonderful life
Ludwig Wittgenstein’s last words
How bitter and frightening, our lives would have been, if they never ended?
-Sadeq Hedayat
I think that life would suddenly seem wonderful to us if we were threatened to die as you say. Just think of how many projects, travels, love affairs, studies, it–our life–hides from us, made invisible by our laziness which, certain of a future, delays them incessantly.
Marcel Proust
The tragedy in a man’s life is what dies inside of him while he lives.
Henry David Thoreau
In this base world, full of poverty and misery, for the first time I thought a ray of sunshine had shone on my life. But alas, it was not a sunbeam, rather it was only a transient beam, a shooting star, which appeared to me in the likeness of a woman or an angel.
Sadeq Hedayat
