The vigorous man was unfortunately too much a scholar to confess that he neither could nor would be a philosopher, and accordingly as such throughout life he performed a blind dance- not altogether becoming between the Stoa, Pythagoreanism, and Diogenism.
Not in the Stoa, not in herself can a woman find such a stay, but in pious dependence on the help of the gods." "I am a man," interrupted Publius, "and yet I sacrifice to them and yield ready obedience to their decrees."
"If I could describe to you the contempt with which I regard my former mode of life ... everything is different ... different ... so much purer ... nobler ... I'm absolutely a stoic now.... And that gives one a feeling of such peace, such serenity! And I have you to thank for it, Herr von Niebeldingk." "I don't understand that. To teach in the stoa is a new employment for me."
