Book VII · 32

About death: whether it is a dispersion, or a resolution into atoms, or annihilation, it is either extinction or change.

Of Death: Either dispersion if atoms; or, if a single Whole, either extinction or a change of state.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations VII.32. Translated by George Long (1862). The Stoic Library.
