Lucius Annaeus Seneca

"One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood."

"Life's like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters."

"If you wished to be loved, love."

"Love in its essence is spiritual fire."

"The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it."

"All art is but imitation of nature."
