Death is the release from all pain and complete cessation, beyond which our suffering will not extend. It will return us to that condition of transquility, which we had enjoyed before we were born. Should anyone mourn the deceased, then he must also mourn the unborn.

-Seneca

Death is neither good nor evil, for good and evil can only be something that actually exists. However, whatever is of itself nothing and which transforms everything else into nothing will not at all be able to put us at the mercy of fate.

-Seneca

i don't know if this is two separate quotes, but i separated them because i found them this way. all the sadness and anger has floated away out of the top of my head, and i feel an uncertain calm. went to see the bodyworlds exhibit today. i felt deeply present as we the living mingled with we the dead.
