Quotes by Richard Schickel (?)

“Epictetus, I think, said not to be concerned with death, because life is the presence of feeling and emotion and awareness, and death is the absence of all of that, which means you won't have any awareness. So why worry about it ?”
― Richard Schickel, Conversations with Scorsese
