Lucius Annaeus Seneca

"Love in its essence is spiritual fire."

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

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

"All art is but imitation of nature."

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

"If you wished to be loved, love."
