Death is nothing to us: for after our bodies have been dissolved by death they are without sensation, and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us. And therefore a right understanding of death makes mortality enjoyable, not because it adds to an infinite span of time, but because it takes away the craving for immortality.
Epicurus
Image

Epicurus
Image
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.
Epicurus
Image
Most men are in a coma when they are at rest and mad when they act.
