Notable quotes: Epicurus on good and evil

Setting comments about death aside, it turns out my notion of goodness and evil depending on consciousness is Epicurean:

"Accustom yourself to believe that death is nothing to us, for good and evil imply awareness, and death is the privation of all awareness; therefore a right understanding that death is nothing to us makes the mortality of life enjoyable, not by adding to life an unlimited time, but by taking away the yearning after immortality."

Translated by Robert Drew Hicks.
