from "Fences" by August Wilson

Troy: "Death aint nothing. I done seen him. Done wrassled with him. You can't tell me nothing about death. Death aint nothing but a fastball on the outside corner."

This quote tells me that Troy does not see death as a serious threat; he does not take death seriously. He personifies death and says that he's already met death. When death comes for him, he will put up a fight.
