Death Because Come Concern Does Exist Long Longer Us

Quote Author

Epicurus
Greek - Philosopher
341 BC - 270 BC

So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since for the former it is not, and the latter are no more.

Epicurus

Death, the most dreaded of evils, is therefore of no concern to us; for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist.

Epicurus

Death is something we don't have to fear, since as long as we exist death doesn't and when it does we don't.

Antonio Machado

The final hour when we cease to exist does not itself bring death; it merely of itself completes the death-process. We reach death at that moment, but we have been a long time on the way.

Seneca the Younger

Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.

W. Somerset Maugham

Whatsoever causes no annoyance when it is present, causes only a groundless pain in the expectation. Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not. It is nothing, then, either to the living or to the dead, for with the living it is not and the dead exist no longer.

Epicurus

Death does not exist.

Edith Piaf

I went to medical school because I wanted to ask the big questions. Do we have a soul? Does God exist? What happens after death?

Deepak Chopra

If life after death really does exist, everyone probably gets what they expect to get, because that's the only thing I can think of that would be fair.

Seanan McGuire

For things remain possible, even if God does not choose them. Indeed, even if God does not will something to exist, it is possible for it to exist, since, by its nature, it could exist if God were to will it to exist.

Gottfried Leibniz

Why does one exist? That's not my problem. One does exist. The thing to do is to take no notice but go at it on the run and to keep on going right on until you die.

Simone de Beauvoir

A human being does not cease to exist at death. It is change, not destruction, which takes place.

Florence Nightingale

Stop looking for the perfect church. It does not exist. Even if it did exist, the moment we joined it, it would no longer be perfect!

Nicky Gumbel

A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.

Charles Spurgeon

We are left with nothing but death, the irreducible fact of our own mortality. Death after a long illness we can accept with resignation. Even accidental death we can ascribe to fate. But for a man to die of no apparent cause, for a man to die simply because he is a man, brings us so close to the invisible boundary between life and death that we no longer know which side we are on. Life becomes death, and it is as if this death has owned this life all along. Death without warning. Which is to say: life stops. And it can stop at any moment.
