"I bethought myself in the first place that this man was mortal, and then that there were a hundred ways in which he might be put on one side."
"Death is less to be feared than nothing, if there could be anything less than nothing. "'Multo . . . mortem minus ad nos esse putandium, Si minus esse potest, quam quod nihil esse videmus. "Neither can it any way concern you, whether you are living or dead: living, by reason that you are still in being; dead, because you are no more.
