“You’ve got to do things, try things, that seem frightening, that are frightening. Otherwise you’ll never grow. And you’ll never learn to die.”

“Learn to die? Why would I want to do that?”

“Oh, you will. There’ll come a time in your life – in everyone’s life, in the life of every living thing – when you realize it’s time to give up.”

“God, what an appalling thought.”

“Not at all. It’s just life.”
