Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
Epicurus Quotes
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come,we are not.

About
Epicurus was born in Samos, Greek. He was a Greek philosopher as well as the founder of the school of philosophy called Epicureanism. Only a few fragments and letters of Epicurus's 300 written works remain. As a boy, he studied philosophy for four years under the Platonist teacher Pamphilus. At the age of eighteen, he went to Athens for his two-year term of military service.
