Seneca · Moral Letters to Lucilius

Letter 4 — On the Terrors of Death (§3)

A quote
All you need to do is to advance; you will thus understand that some things are less to be dreaded, precisely because they inspire us with great fear. No evil is great which is the last evil of all. Death arrives; it would be a thing to dread, if it could remain with you. But death must either not come at all, or else must come and pass away.
