“...engaging with a work of ancient philosophy can be a two-way street; bringing it into a discussion can enrich that discussion, which also encouraging us to see the work in light of that discussion.”
Julia Annas

“We find the important similarity of virtue to skill in skills where two things are united: the need to learn and the drive to aspire.”
Julia Annas, Intelligent Virtue

“Everything I do, I am responsible for; there is always something else I could have done, some other attitude I could have taken up. To say I am overcome by emotion is to evade the fact that I was the one who acted, who thought at the time that what I was doing was the right thing to do.”
Julia Annas, Ancient Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction
