Book VIII · 58

He who fears death either fears the loss of sensation or a different kind of sensation. But if thou shalt have no sensation, neither wilt thou feel any harm; and if thou shalt acquire another kind of sensation, thou wilt be a different kind of living being and thou wilt not cease to live.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations VIII.58. Translated by George Long (1862). The Stoic Library.
