- John Dryden
About this Quote
This quote by John Dryden speaks with the worry of the unknown that many people experience when it concerns death. Death is a natural part of life, and yet it is something that lots of people fear. Dryden suggests that this fear is because of the fact that we do not know what takes place after death or where we go. We doubt of what lies beyond the physical world, and this unpredictability can be frightening. Dryden's quote motivates us to accept death as a natural part of life and to not hesitate of the unidentified. He suggests that we need to not hesitate of the unidentified, but instead embrace it and accept it as part of life. By doing so, we can live our lives to the max and not be afraid of death.
