Excerpts from Marcus Aurelius’ Meditation
I.13
“be ready to speak well of teachers”
while
at the same time trying to destroy their unions
II.12
“if anyone is afraid
of an operation of nature
he is a child”
so
have a hurricane party
or chase after a tornado
III.4
“We ought then to check in the series of our thoughts
everything that is without a purpose and useless,
but
most of all the overcurious feeling”
about celebrities,
especially those
celebrities who haven’t actually done anything
