“none of us personally lives in the past, that is, in what was. It is only possible to understand the past (in which we are not) here and now (in which we are). And this understanding can only be expressed in the style and words given to us by our present. And thus, when I say “was,” that “was” has no perceptible existence. “Was” exists only insofar as I say it, and as a result of my saying it, this “was” suddenly appears to us here and now as “is.” Hence this important conclusion: there is no real difference between the past and the present. Ancient history is with us today.”

“Here, gods are used by influencers to show off their wit. Believe in gods? Oh , it’s not in fashion. Some weird cult from Egypt or Asia— well, yes, these novelties are so interesting, why not take that up. But stay away from the old boring gods! From the religion of our ancestors. Better occultism, dark mysticism, reincarnation, debauchery, Isis . There are prostitutes in Isis’s temples!”

“I do not advise offering poetry. Ours is a truly golden age: only gold is valued, and without gifts, Homer himself will be shown the door . But there are a few educated girls and quite a number of snobs. It does not hurt to devote a poem to such a girl once in a while. Since you have virtually nothing but your charms at your disposal, use your talents to play the game. When you are sure that the woman needs you, try to get out of her sight. But don’t be gone for too long. In the absence of Menelaus, Helen consoled herself with Paris.”
