On Living and Dying Well Quotes

“Since it's clear then that what sets itself in motion is eternal, who could fail to attribute such a nature to the soul. Anything set in motion by external impetus is inanimate; what is animate moves by its own interior impulse. This is the nature and power of soul.

― Marcus Tullius Cicero, On Living and Dying Well

“Away with these old wives' tales, with this idea that it's terrible to die before one's time! What time? The time of nature? It made us a loan without a due date. Why complain if it seeks repayment at a time of its choosing? After all, you accepted the loan on these terms!”
