« All quotes from this author
 

Nunc patimur longae pacis mala, saevior armis
luxuria incubuit victumque ulciscitur orbem.
--
We are now suffering the evils of a long peace. Luxury, more deadly than war, broods over the city, and avenges a conquered world.
--
VI, line 292.

Consecutusque cohortis ad Rubiconem flumen, qui provinciae eius finis erat, paulum constitit, ac reputans quantum moliretur, conversus ad proximos: "Etiam nunc," inquit, "regredi possumus; quod si ponticulum transierimus, omnia armis agenda erunt."

Qui cum ex fratribus quatuor germanis pariter et uterinis natu minor existeret, tribus aliis nunc castra nunc oppida nunc palatia puerilibus, ut solet haec aetas, praeludiis in sabulo vel pulvere protrahentibus construentibus, modulo suo, solus hic simili praeludio semper ecclesias eligere et monasteria construere tota intentione satagebat.

Sin aliquem infandum casum, Fortuna, minaris,
Nunc, o, nunc liceat crudelem abrumpere vitam,
Dum curae ambiguae, dum spes incerta futuri.

 
Virgil
 

I have withdrawn the red dress, the mala, because thousands of people wanted to be sannyasins but just because of the clothes and the mala they felt difficulties in the world — their job, their family, their wife, their parents, their friends — and it was too much of a trouble. I have withdrawn everything. Now whatsoever remains is something inner which neither the wife can detect nor the father nor the job nor the friends.
