A disease is farther on the road to being cured when it breaks forth from concealment and manifests its power.
Seneca the YoungerThis is the difference between us Romans and the Etruscans: We believe that lightning is caused by clouds colliding, whereas they believe that clouds collide in order to create lightning. Since they attribute everything to gods, they are led to believe not that events have a meaning because they have happened, but that they happen in order to express a meaning.
