Live now as you wish to live when you’re gone—nothing stops you from doing it here and now. And if others won’t let you live according to your principles, then you can leave life calmly, as if leaving a smoky house—without anger, as if no harm has been done. But as long as nothing forces you out, stay. Stay free, and let no one prevent you from living as you choose to live: guided by reason and in harmony with your nature as a rational and social being.
