"Sometimes I feel like if you just watch things, just sit still and let the world exist in front of you - sometimes I swear that just for a second time freezes and the world pauses in its tilt. Just for a second. And if you somehow found a way to live in that second, then you would live forever."

Eternity
"Seneca brings vividly before us a picture of the various scholars assembled in a school of the philosophers."
School
"Man's liberty ends, and it ought to end, when that liberty becomes the curse of its neighbors."
End
"The decision of such judges as Claudius and his Senate is worth very little in the question of a man's innocence or guilt; but the sentence was that Seneca should be banished to the island of Corsica."
Decision
"For although Claudius had been accused of gambling and drunkenness, not only were no worse sins laid to his charge, but he had successfully established some claim to being considered a learned man."
Being
"But in the life of every man there are influences of a far more real and penetrating character than those which come through the medium of schools or teachers."
Life
"Whether the prayer of Seneca was granted we do not know; but, as we do not again hear of Marcus, it is probable that he died before his father, and that the line of Seneca, like that of so many great men, became extinct in the second generation."
Men
"If ever I want to amuse myself with an idiot, I have not far to look for one. I laugh at myself."
