this is a quote by Socrates, not Epicurus. Socrates says this sentence to Plato prior to his execution while being imprisoned in Athens.

it is a part of "The Apology (The Defense of Socrates)" in" Great Dialogues of Plato".

just sayin'....

Leave it to the philosophers of Hellas: smacking down theosophy for over 2500 years. Related content: Plato's Euthyphro http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1642

Swedish artist Peter Bergting drew this aaaaaages ago (which is why I caught it, big fan and collector of his original art).

Powerful quote. The art is really awesome. Where did you get it/who made it?

I searched online but could only find smaller versions.

No trick dispels. Religion used to try, 
That vast, moth-eaten musical brocade 
Created to pretend we never die, 
And specious stuff that says No rational being 
Can fear a thing it will not feel, not seeing 
That this is what we fear - no sight, no sound, 
No touch or taste or smell, nothing to think with, 
Nothing to love or link with, 
The anasthetic from which none come round.

Aubade, Philip Larkin

I don't fear death. I do, however, fear the transition between life and death, because it might hurt like fuck.

Damn... that is a bad-ass quote. I've never seen that thought process verbalized, though I have thought it before, but that makes a lot of sense and is so eloquently worded. That's OP.

WELL THAT'S DEPRESSING.
