Seneca the Younger
One crime has to be concealed by another.
Seneca the Younger
Everything is the product of one universal creative effort. There is nothing dead in Nature.
Seneca the Younger
I would rather be sick than idle.
Seneca the Younger
The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin.
Seneca the Younger
