"When you have shut your doors, and darkened your room, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone . . . your mind and genius are within,--and what need have they of light to see what you are doing?" ~ Epictetus: Discourses Chap. xiv
Lately, I am really getting into ancient literature. I am realizing that nothing truly is new. Everything is just a repetition of those things learned by the ancient Greeks and Romans.
I find Epictetus especially intriguing. He was born a slave, yet he held that all people have the right to live free and in harmony with nature. I like that concept.
