There goes a philosopher without his coat

[star ark]

There goes a philosopher without his coat, another without his book, yet another half starved saying as he goes "I have no bread but I still remain faithful to reason." And here I sit, well nourished and surrounded by my books, unfaithful to reason.  - Marcus Aurelius, the Emperor's Handbook

 

Brilliant book, feels like one Roman man came up with his own Tao Te Ching
