The quote "Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there" from Diana Gabaldon's "Written in My Own Heart's Blood" reflects a common human reluctance toward death, despite the allure of an afterlife. It captures the conflict between the desire for spiritual or eternal fulfillment and the fear of the process that leads there. This duality highlights the inherent instinct to cling to life, showing that even those who believe in a promising future are often apprehensive about leaving their current existence.
