"The life of the dead is placed..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“There is no castle so strong that it cannot be overthrown by money.”

“Nature has inclined us to love men.”

“He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.”

“Set honor in one eye and death in th' other, and I will look on both indifferently. I love then name of honor more than I fear death.”

“Among human beings there is no greater banality than death. Second in order, because it is possible to die without being born, comes birth, and next comes marriage.”

“A severed femoral artery empties itself faster than you can believe.”

“Memory is a capricious and arbitrary creature. You never can tell what pebble she will pick up from the shore of life to keep among her treasures, or what inconspicuous flower of the field she will preserve as the symbol of "thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears." . . . And yet I do not doubt that the most Important things are always the best remembered.”

“What stays with you latest and deepest? of curious panics, of hard-fought engagements or sieges tremendous what deepest remains?”

“Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.”
