Seneca the Younger

The illness has only made certain ambivalences I'd always been conscious of that much more acute.

It's fresh existence is paid for by the old age and death of a worn out existence which has perished, but which contained the indestructible seed out of which the new existence has arisen: they are one being.
Arthur Schopenhauer
