Book 27 complete, 1 more to go!

"The hardness of flint is known to none so well as to those who strike it. I offer myself to all attacks, like some lonely rock in a shallow sea, which the waves never cease to beat upon from whatever quarter they may come, but which they cannot thereby move from its place nor yet wear away, for however many years they may unceasingly dash against it."

Book 26 complete, 2 more to go!

“Your opinion of me affects me with pain, not for my own sake but for yours, because to hate perfection and to assail virtue is in itself a resignation of all hope of doing well.”

Book 25 done, 3 more to go!

"What, then, is the upshot of all this? it is that I prefer to have to regulate joys than to stifle sorrows."

Okay but what is the American doing here in this mess

Book 24 complete, 4 more to go!

"...and first of all observe this, that a student of wisdom is not the same thing as a man who has made himself perfect in wisdom."

Book 23 complete, 5 more to go!

“As he is capable of performing a journey upon his own feet, but yet would prefer to mount a carriage, just so he will be capable of being poor, yet will wish to be rich”

Book 22 complete, 6 more to go!

"Who can doubt, however, that the wise man, if he is rich, has a wider field for the development of his powers than if he is poor, [...] if he has riches, he will have a wide field for the exhibition of temperance, generosity, laboriousness, methodical arrangement, and grandeur."

This play continues to astound me in how it sets up a conflict but then inconspicuously subverts it. It really does keep you at the edge of your seat (even if you do know the ultimate victor)

There’s like 20 pages left but I still need a break from … all of that.

Book 21 complete, 7 more to go!

“His answer is, that these things ought to be despised, not that he should not possess them, but that he should not possess them with fear and trembling: he does not drive them away from him, but when they leave him he follows after them unconcernedly.”

Book 20 complete, 8 more to go!

"Philosophers do not carry into effect all that they teach." No; but they effect much good by their teaching, by the noble thoughts which they conceive in their minds: would, indeed, that they could act up to their talk: what could be happier than they would be? but in the meanwhile you have no right to despise good sayings and hearts full of good thoughts."

😨

Book 19 complete, 9 more to go!

"...yet are given to evil speaking, and are so magnificent in their contempt of the vices of others that I should suppose that they had none of their own, were it not that some criminals when on the gibbet spit upon the spectators."

Oh my god the WRITING. The PROSE. Oh I need to note down these gorgeous lines tomorrow morning

Book 18 complete, 10 more to go!

"That most energetic philosopher fought against all the desires of the body, and was poorer even than the other Cynics, in that besides having given up possessing anything he had also given up asking for anything: yet they reproached him for not being sufficiently in want: as though forsooth it were poverty, not virtue, of which he professed knowledge."

Book 17 complete, 11 more to go!

“for the present I will make you the following answer. "I am not a wise man, and I will not be one in order to feed your spite: so do not require me to be on a level with the best of men, but merely to be better than the worst”

I was gonna say “wow this king Richard is a fine fella- oh. Oh that’s not-“

…oh Winston… let’s use our braincells for a little bit
