About this Quote

This quote by French playwright Pierre Corneille suggests that those who do not fear death are not easily daunted by hazards. In other words, somebody who is not scared of passing away has nothing to lose and therefore can not be managed or manipulated by hazards. This could be interpreted as a sign of strength and bravery, as the individual is not quickly swayed by worry. It might likewise be seen as an alerting to those who utilize hazards as a way of control, as they will have no power over someone who is not scared of death. Eventually, this quote highlights the significance of dealing with death with guts and not enabling fear to determine one's actions.
