I wanna live. I don’t wanna die. That’s the whole meaning of life: Not dying! I figured that shit out by myself in the third grade

I don't want to die as long as I can work; the minute I can not, I want to go.

Life is amazingly tenacious. They don’t want to die any more than I do.

I wish to go on living even after my death.

I wish to live because life has within it that which is good, that which is beautiful, and that which is love. Therefore, since I have known all of these things, I have found them to be reason enough and — I wish to live. Moreover, because this is so, I wish others to live for generations and generations and generations and generations.

Don’t you want to be alive before you die?

I had no idea how to live, but I didn’t want to die.

I don't want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!

I simply want to live; to cause no evil to anyone but myself.

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.

While living, I want to live well.

I intend to live forever, or die trying.

I do not wish to expiate, but to live. My life is not an apology, but a life.

لا أريد أن أموت قبل أن أموت.
