About this Quote
In this quote, Epicurus is revealing his belief that death need to not provide fear or concern for us. He argues that as long as we live and existing, death is not present. It is only when death finally shows up that we cease to exist. Therefore, there is no point in fretting about something that we can not experience while we live. Epicurus motivates us to focus on living our lives to the fullest and not waste time fretting about death. This quote highlights the philosopher's belief in the value of living in the present and not being consumed by thoughts of the inevitable end of life.
"Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see"
