“A single death, wrote one ancient king, is a tragedy, but a genocide can only be understood through statistics.”

“Enough of this miserable, whining life. Stop monkeying around! Why are you troubled? What’s new here? What’s so confounding? The one responsible? Take a good look. Or just the matter itself? Then look at that. There’s nothing else to look at. And as far as the gods go, by now you could try being more straightforward and kind. It’s the same, whether you’ve examined these things for a hundred years, or only three.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 9.37”

“At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being.

― Marcus Aurelius
