“If you don’t get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don’t want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can’t hold on to it forever.

“To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know.

And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?”

“Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?”

“There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide.”

“I salute you as the Gates of Death” 

“Death is a softer thing by far than tyranny.”
