Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
Epicurus Quotes

About
Epicurus was born in Samos, Greek. He was a Greek philosopher as well as the founder of the school of philosophy called Epicureanism. Only a few fragments and letters of Epicurus's 300 written works remain. As a boy, he studied philosophy for four years under the Platonist teacher Pamphilus. At the age of eighteen, he went to Athens for his two-year term of military service.
