“We must go for walks out of doors, so that the mind can be strengthened and invigorated by a clear sky and plenty of fresh air. At times it will acquire fresh energy from a journey by carriage and a change of scene, or from socializing and drinking freely. Occasionally we should even come to the point of intoxication, sinking into drink but not being totally flooded by it; for it does wash away cares, and stirs the mind to its depths, and heals sorrow just as it heals certain diseases.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

“So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not Ill-supplied but wasteful of it.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It

“You must set your hands to tasks which you can finish or at least hope to finish, and avoid those which get bigger as you proceed and do not cease where you had intended.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

“The past can't hurt you anymore, not unless you let it.”
― Alan Moore, V for Vendetta
