The place one's in, though, doesn't make any contribution to peace of mind: it's the spirit that makes everything agreeable to oneself.
Seneca the YoungerConversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.

Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has something for every age to investigate. nature does not reveal her mysteries once and for all.
Seneca the Younger
