Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death. If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it!

A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.

A perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell.

I guess I just process death differently than some folks. Realizing you're not going to see that person again is always the most difficult part about it. But that feeling settles, and then you are glad you had that person in your life, and then the happiness and the sadness get all swirled up inside you.

The wise man seeks death all his life, and for this reason death is not terrifying to him.

Be of good hope in the face of death. Believe in this one truth for certain, that no evil can befall a good man either in life or death, and that his fate is not a matter of indifference to the gods.
