“So this is how a thoughtful person should await death: not with indifference, not with patience, not with disdain, but simply viewing it as one of the things that happen to us. Now you anticipate the child's emergence from its mother's womb; that's how you should await the hour when your soul will emerge from its compartment.” — Marcus Aurelius
