“The effect of speech upon the condition of the soul is comparable to the power of drugs over the nature of bodies. For just as different drugs dispel different secretions from the body, and some bring an end to disease and others to life, so also in the case of speeches, some distress, others delight, some cause fear, others make the hearers bold, and some drug and bewitch the soul with a kind of evil persuasion.”

The Enchiridion • Epictetus“The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane.”
Christian Science • Mark Twain““I feel as if I had been in the world a thousand years, and I trail my life behind me like an endless scarf.””
