Postea vero, quam Tyrannio mihi libros disposuit, mens addita videtur meis aedibus.
—Cicero, letter to Atticus at Rome, CXI (A IV)
“I have always dreamed,” he mouthed fiercely, “of
a band of men absolute in their resolve to discard
all scruples in the choice of means, strong enough
to give themselves frankly the name of destroyers,
and free from the taint of that resigned pessimism
which rots the world. No pity for anything on earth,
including themselves, and death enlisted for good
and all in the service of humanity.”
—Joseph Conrad, The Secret Agent
Ah how shameless—the way these mortals blame the gods.
From us alone, they say, come all their miseries, yes,
but they themselves, with their own reckless ways,
compound their pains beyond their proper share.”
—Homer, The Odyssey, Robert Fagles translation
