quote from Marcus Aurelius displayed on a dark gray wall
quote from Marcus Aurelius displayed on a dark gray wall. The quote is presented in Greek, Turkish, and English. The Greek portion reads: "Ὃς ἀποτεθνηκότα δεῖ, καὶ μέχρι περιόντος ζῆσαι κατὰ τὴν φύσιν. Αὐτὸ γὰρ ἑαυτὸ στερήσει τῆς αὐγῆς τὸ μὴ παραπέμπον αὐτήν." The Turkish translation is: "Kendinizi ölü olarak düşünün. Hayatınızı yaşadınız. Şimdi, geriye kalanı alın ve onu düzgün bir şekilde yaşayın. Işığını yansıtmayan şey kendi karanlığını yaratır." The English translation is: "Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly. What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness." Below the quote, it is attributed to "Marcus Aurelius (MS 121-180)" and includes the source citation "M. Aur. Med. 7. 56, 8. 57". The wall appears to be in a public space, possibly a museum or an exhibition, given the lighting and the way the text is displayed. The background above the wall shows exposed ceiling infrastructure with pipes and lighting fixtures. The image was taken from a slightly low angle, looking up at the wall. This display is located in the Antalya Museum in Antalya, Turkey.
