Death is such as ...

Death is such as generation is, a mystery of nature; a composition out of the same elements, and a decomposition into the same; and altogether not a thing of which any man should be ashamed, for it is not contrary to the nature of a reasonable animal, and not contrary to the reason of our constitution.



Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus, Meditations, Book IV - 6.
