― The Stoic Philosophy of Seneca: Essays and Letters
“How important can it be that I suffer and think? My presence in this world will disturb a few tranquil lives and will unsettle the unconscious and pleasant naiveté of others.

I am absolutely persuaded that I am nothing in this universe; yet I feel that mine is the only real existence.”
