Seneca

It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.

As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.

Our care should not be to have lived long as to have lived enough.

Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.

I have my faults, but changing my tune is not one of them.

Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so.

Life is trying things to see if they work.

Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.

Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger.

It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I’m a woman or a man.

We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe.

Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.

I have survivor’s curiosity, I guess.

Not everything I write will be a masterpiece; I know that. It is a process selecting words to convey feelings never meant to be spoken. So maybe I’ve been searching for what’s already been said and this is the finest way I can say it. I love you, in everything I am, I love you.

Many unkind people have done kind things. Doing acts of kindness is not the same as occupying kindness, of being kindness.

Die, but do not retreat.

No, I’m not anguished and tormented.

I think everyone has their own set of problems, and sometimes I feel I’m in the middle of the biggest challenge of my life just trying to maintain normalcy in a kind of crazy lifestyle.
