Seneca the Younger Quotes

After death there is nothing.

Unbeing dead isn't being alive.

I think it is impossible for human minds to think of Death as a final, irrevocable end to life.

But death is not freedom. For a moment, it can look like freedom. But then it's death. Anything. Something. Nothing.

I'm not scared of dying, because I'm an atheist. I won't even know I'm dead. You know why? Because I'll be fùckin' dead.

How surely are the dead beyond death. Death is what the living carry with them. A state of dread, like some uncanny foretaste of a bitter memory. But the dead do not remember and nothingness is not a curse. Far from it.

Death promises nothing--not even oblivion.

Where do you go when you die? The same place you were before you were born; nowhere! It's over!

Nothing is more dreadful in life than the profound thought that death may only greet you with eternal nothingness.

I think Willa Cather did a short story called "Paul's Case," and in it, when he finally commits suicide, it says, "He surrendered to the black design of things."

I don't want to start it all over again.

Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

Go and try to disprove death. Death will disprove you, and that's all!

Death either destroys or unhusks us. If it means liberation, better things await us when our burden s gone: if destruction, nothing at all awaits us; blessings and curses are abolished.

Being dead will be no different from being unborn -- I shall be just as I was in the time of William the Conqueror or the dinosaurs or the trilobites. There is nothing to fear in that.

Although the time of death is approaching me, I am not afraid of dying and going to Hell or (what would be considerably worse) going to the popularized version of Heaven. I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism.

Someone dying asks if there is life after death. Yes, comes the answer, only not yours.

Death doesn't exist. It never did, it never will. But we've drawn so many pictures of it, so many years, trying to pin it down, comprehend it, we've got to thinking of it as an entity, strangely alive and greedy. All it is, however, is a stopped watch, a loss, an end, a darkness. Nothing.

What will it feel like after you die? Exactly the same as it felt for those billions of years before you were born.

Death, the most dreaded of evils, is therefore of no concern to us; for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist.

There is no God found stronger than death; and death is a sleep.

There is no "next" after you are dead and gone from your own world.
