Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
EpicurusDeath does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
EpicurusIf death causes you no pain when you're dead, it is foolish to allow the fear of it to cause you pain now.
EpicurusThe flesh believes that pleasure is limitless and that it requires unlimited time; but the mind, understanding the end and limit of the flesh and ridding itself of fears of the future, secures a complete life and has no longer any need for unlimited time.
