Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder

The desire to know a thing is heightened by its gratification being deferred.
Pliny the Elder
Nulla dies sine linea - Not a day without a line.
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
Truth comes out in wine.
Pliny the Elder
