Book 5
“To shrug it all off and wipe clean—every annoyance and distraction—and reach utter stillness.
Child’s play.”
Ὡς εὔκολον ἀπώσασθαι καὶ ἀπαλεῖψαι πᾶσαν φαντασίαν τὴν ὀχληρὰν ἢ ἀνοίκειον καὶ εὐθὺς ἐν πάσῃ γαλήνῃ εἶναι.
- How easy a thing it is to put away and blot out every impression that is disturbing or alien, and to be at once in perfect peace.”
“How Easy a Thing Is It for a Man to Put off from Him All Turbulent adventitious imaginations, and presently to be in perfect rest and tranquillity!”
Marcus Aurelius (meditations)
