Seneca
“Ask nature: she will tell you that she made both day and night.”
Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Seneca
“Often it is better to hide an illness from the patient, because just the mere awareness of a disease can bring about death.”
Seneca, On the Shortness of Life: De Brevitate Vitae (A New Translation)

Seneca
“Our lack of confidence is not the result of difficulty. The difficulty comes from our lack of confidence.”
Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

Seneca
“He lives badly who does not know how to die well.”
Seneca

“We have only to reflect upon the fact that no human being can be a substitute for another, a fact of which love makes us sharply aware with its impelling desire for a unique relationship with a unique person, to realise what this means and to discover that we have here something not met with in the rest of nature; that we are dealing with a uniqueness which goes far beyond mere individuation of bodies or mere differences of appearance and behaviour.”
Aelred Watkin, Resurrection Is Now: how death is not only an end but a beginning, and how to live life as a preparation for death and resurrection.
