Our civilization depends largely on paper.
Pliny the Elder
Nulla dies sine linea - Not a day without a line.
Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder
The best kind of wine is that which is most pleasant to him who drinks it.
Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder
In time of sickness the soul collects itself anew.
Pliny the Elder
There is in them a softer fire than the ruby, there is the brilliant purple of the amethyst, and the sea green of the emerald - all shining together in incredible union. Some by their splendor rival the colors of the painters, others the flame of burning sulphur or of fire quickened by oil.
Pliny the Elder
The brain is the citadel of sense perception.
Pliny the Elder
Many other means there be, that promise the foreknowledge of things to come: besides the raising up and conjuring of ghosts departed, the conference also with familiars and spirits infernal. And all these were found out in our days, to be no better than vanities and false illusions.
Pliny the Elder
Home is where the heart is.
Pliny the Elder
