STOIC / THE DISCIPLINE OF WILL - MEDITATION ON MORTALITY / 12-03 - The philosopher as an artisan of life and death
“Philosophy does not claim to get a person any external possession. To do so would be beyond its field. As wood is to the carpenter, bronze to the sculptor, so our own lives are the proper material in the art of living.”
- EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 1.15.2
