The pleasures of the palate deal with us like Egyptian thieves who strangle those whom they embrace.
Seneca the YoungerIn whatever direction you turn, you will see God coming to meet you; nothing is void of him, he himself fills all his work.
Seneca the YoungerDo not grudge your brother his rest. He has at last become free, safe and immortal, and ranges joyous through the boundless heavens; he has left this low-lying region and has soared upwards to that place which receives in its happy bosom the souls set free from the chains of matter. Your brother has not lost the light of day, but has obtained a more enduring light. He has not left us, but has gone on before.
Seneca the Younger
