Meditations VIII.58

Dread of death is a dread of non-sensation or new sensation.64 But either thou wilt feel no sensation, and so no sensation of any evil; or a different kind of sensation will be thine, and so the life of a different creature, but still a life.

  • 64.Compare Justin Martyr’s Apology i. § 57, addressed to Pius and Marcus.
