The mind would rather amuse itself than heal itself, making philosophy into a diversion when it is really a cure ~ Seneca, Letters 117.33

Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must keep the knowledge of it to myself . . . . No good thing is pleasant to possess without friends to share it. ~ Seneca - Letters, 6.4

Don’t demand that I should be equal to the best, but better than the worst. It’s enough for me, if, every day, I reduce the number of my vices and correct my mistakes ~ Seneca, ‘On the Happy life 17.3)

Combining all times into one makes life long - Seneca, “On the Shortness of life 15.5”

We suffer more often in imagination that in reality - Seneca, Lettrs 14-4

Freedom is the price we are seeking. That means not being a slave to anything – to not co compulsion and no chance events. It means reducing Fortune’s power to an equal playing field ~ Seneca Letters 51.9

. . . . For Seneca, silk was simply a cipher for exoticism and eroticism. A woman could not honestly say she was not naked when she was wearing silk. Others felt the same, for repeated efforts were made to prohibit men from wearing the fabric, including edicts passed by law. Some put it simply: it was disgraceful, two leading citizens agreed, that Roman men should think it acceptable to sport silked clothing from the east. ~ Page 19
