“While similar in meaning to the Stoic phrase memento mori, the Epicurean carpe diem was oriented differently. Both phrases locate meaning in the present, but “memento mori” does so by invoking both past and future—Remember, you will die. By contrast, Horace’s poem specifically counsels against imagining the future. The space in which meaning unfolds is here and now.”
