Stoic Snippets 187


He who fears death either fears the loss of sensation or a different kind of sensation. 

But if you shall have no sensation, neither will you feel any harm. 

And if you shall acquire another kind of sensation, you will be a different kind of living being, and you will not cease to live. 

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 8.58
