"I don't fear death, I just don't want to be there when it happens." -- Woody Allen

"I'm not afraid of death. It's dying that scares the hell out of me." -- ???

I can better identify with the second saying. As an unbeliever, I believe that when I'm dead whatever the self is, will no longer exist, thus will perceive nothing. In glaring contrast, there are all manner of unpleasant experiences possible while one on on the way out.
