Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder
Nulla dies sine linea - Not a day without a line.
Pliny the Elder
Our civilization depends largely on paper.
Pliny the Elder
The desire to know a thing is heightened by its gratification being deferred.
Pliny the Elder
...shellfish are the prime cause of the decline of morals and the adaptation of an extravagant lifestyle. Indeed of the whole realm of Nature the sea is in many ways the most harmful to the stomach, with its great variety of dishes and tasty fish.
Pliny the Elder
Nature has given man no better thing than shortness of life.
Pliny the Elder
Nature is to be found in her entirety nowhere more than in her smallest creatures.
Pliny the Elder
Man naturally yearns for novelty.
Pliny the Elder
