How to Die by Seneca

Pg 2 Epicurus says, “rehearse for death,” or, if this conveys the meaning better to us, “its a great thing to learn how to die”. Perhaps you think it useless to learn something that must only be used once; but this is the very reason why we ought to rehearse. We must study always the thing we cannot tell from experience whether we know.

Pg 14 know that the same outcome awaits us all, but dying fearfully, often, is itself a cause of death.

Pg 26 we don’t fear death but the contemplation of death. Death is self is always the same distance away: if it is to be feared, then it should be feared always.

Pg 80 each of us are to seek a life that wins approval from others, but a death, from himself.
