What is it that you seek? The mere continuance of your life? To experience sensation, then, and impulse? To grow, and cease from growing? To make use of your tongue, and your mind? And what is there in that which strikes you as worth desiring? But if all these things are worthy of contempt, take the final step, and follow reason, follow god. But to value those other things militates against that, or to be distressed at the thought that you will be robbed of them by death.
~Marcus Aurelius
