| Quote | “The wise man, - as Epicurus teaches us, - does not either run away from life or imagine death as a great evil, as the most horrible of the evils – death, does not directly touch upon us, as when we exist, there is no death and when death gets the upper hand, we are no more. So, it does not really touch upon those alive or dead, as for the former it does not exist, and the later no longer exist themselves. People sometimes try to dodge death, as the greatest evil and sometimes – they crave it, as ending of all evils of life”. […] Democritus, Epicurus, - Fragments, Letters”, Tbilisi, 1959, pg. 207 |
