The summit of pleasure is the elimination of all that gives pain.
When we exist, death is not yet present, and when death is present, then we do not exist.
Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?
Justice... is a kind of compact not to harm or be harmed.
What will happen to me if that which this desire seeks is achieved, and what if it is not?
There is no such thing as justice in the abstract; it is merely a compact between men in their various relations with each other, in whatever circumstances they may be, that they will neither injure nor be injured.
