“And you, will you doubt and feel aggrieved to die? Already, while you live and see, your life is all but dead. You waste most of your time in sleep. You snore while wide awake; and dream incessantly; and always in your mind you’re plagued with fear that’s meaningless, and often you can’t make out what’s wrong with you, oppressed, you drunken wretch, by cares on every side, and drift on shifting tides of fancy.”

-Lucretius, 1st Century B.C.
