A quotation from Cicero

MARCUS: And so, whatever that may be which possesses thought, wisdom, life, vitality — it must be of Heaven and divine, and therefore immortal.
 
[Ita, quicquid est illud, quod sentit, quod sapit, quod vivit, quod viget, caeleste et divinum ob eamque rem aeternum sit necesse est.]

🔥Cicero entdeckt den 'Linksextremismus' neu: "Die Stille nach dem Brandanschlag" 🔥

In einem recht wüst zusammengestückelten Artikel mit Überlänge, spannt der selbsterkannte 'RAF-Terrorismusexperte' Butz Peters, seines Zeichens Anwalt und Journalist, den Bogen von der RAF, über die Vulkangruppe, hin zu Angry Birds und Antifa-Ost. Dazu noch das ZDF mit Danger Dans Song 'Keine Angst' sowie Lina E. aus dem Antifa-Ost-Verfahren.

Atemlos, ziellos, ohne echten roten Faden, aber wichtig, wichtig, 'RAF' aufs Cover schreiben.

Das rechte Monatsmagazin Cicero räumt dem Autor dafür fast 10 Seiten frei.

A quotation from Cicero

MARCUS: The power of separating the intellect from the senses, and reason from instinct, is characteristic of the highest genius.
 
[Magni autem est ingenii sevocare mentem a sensibus et cogitationem ab consuetudine abducere.]

Popular theology ... is a massive inconsistency derived from ignorance.... The gods exist because nature herself has imprinted a conception of them on the minds of men.

The Reality of Dreams

https://johnbronze.wordpress.com/2026/07/24/the-reality-of-dreams/

A quotation from Cicero

For indeed it is possible that a man may think well, and yet not be able to express his thoughts elegantly; but for any one to publish thoughts which he can neither arrange skillfully nor illustrate so as to entertain his reader, is an unpardonable abuse of letters and retirement: they, therefore, read their books to one another, and no one ever takes them up but those who wish to have the same license for careless writing allowed to themselves.
 
[Fieri autem potest, ut recte quis sentiat et id quod sentit polite eloqui non possit; sed mandare quemquam litteris cogitationes suas, qui eas nec disponere nec inlustrare possit nec delectatione aliqua allicere lectorem, hominis est intemperanter abutentis et otio et litteris. Itaque suos libros ipsi legunt cum suis, nec quisquam attingit praeter eos, qui eandem licentiam scribendi sibi permitti volunt.]

A quotation from Cicero

MARCUS: How few philosophers are to be found who are such in character, so ordered in soul and in life, as reason demands; who regard their teaching not as a display of knowledge, but as the rule of life; who obey themselves, and submit to their own decrees!
 
[Quotus enim quisque philosophorum invenitur, qui sit ita moratus, ita animo ac vita constitutus, ut ratio postulat? qui disciplinam suam non ostentationem scientiae, sed legem vitae putet? qui obtemperet ipse sibi et decretis suis pareat?]

But there is in fact nobody who is so hostile to the Muses that he would not readily allow his own deeds to be immortalized in verse.

A quotation from Cicero

Those very philosophers even in the books which they write about despising glory, put their own names on the title-page. In the very act of recording their contempt for renown and notoriety, they desire to have their own names known and talked of.
 
[Ipsi illi philosophi etiam illis libellis, quos de contemnenda gloria scribunt, nomen suum inscribunt; in eo ipso in quo praedicationem nobilitatemque despiciunt, praedicari de se, ac nominari volunt.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher

While home spaces were not as gendered as those in #AncientGreece, this article talks about how spaces in Rome were also somewhat gendered -- and in his attack against #Clodia, #Cicero used Clodia's defiance of those norms against her!

#Scandalisation, #gender and space in #AncientRome: The case of #Cicero and #Clodia

by Muriel Moser
First published: 17 June 2024

"Ciceros thus uses different notions of space for his argument. First, by drawing up a moral landscape of her shameful deeds, Cicero seeks to emphasise the magnitude of her guilt [as an adulteress and murderer of her husband]. Second, built spaces are important for Cicero's argument because they allow him to ‘reveal’ Clodia's private acts, that is, acts that occurred in private spaces, to his male audience in a public space in a dramatic way, thus offering entertainment and creating outrage. Finally, Cicero is able to present her acts as shameful and problematic by blurring built spaces with gendered social spaces.

"This last aspect of his use of space is particularly complex and perfidious and made possible not least by the fluidity of the spatial concepts at work in a #domus and other ‘private’ places, such as gardens and provincial villas. Take the Roman domus: Cicero could use several levels of meaning in this term. A Roman domus was a physical location with a strong symbolic value. It was considered to be the seat of a family, to the point that the term could be equated with the family itself. And, as the family stood at the heart of the Roman moral order, the domus also had a strong #moral connotation The Roman house was, further, a political and hence a public site: it was used to conduct political business, to make connections and to present the public image of the house's owner. It is likely that Clodia received her guests in the atrium, the centre of the public part of the domus, or in an adjacent room (cubiculum) more suitable for private business, but it is difficult to map these roles onto specific areas within the Roman domus. Roman houses were not divided into a ‘public’ and a ‘non-public’ area: some areas were clearly intended for interaction with people outside the household, such as members of the public, guests or supplicants, while other parts were reserved for the life of the family and the business of the household, but there was no clear dichotomy, the separation of these spaces being fluid, with gradations of privacy.

"It is this fluidity that allows Cicero uses spatial references to make Clodia scandalous. For it allows him blur the division between built spaces used by women and conceptual or social spaces, notably politics, that were reserved for men. In this way, Cicero is able to construct Clodia's social events as #transgressions into #MaleSocialSpace. How is this achieved? Having ascribed each of her acts to a specific space as noted above, he turned events that (if they happened at all) would otherwise have been accessible to at most a few people – the goings-on inside Clodia's house (domus) in Rome, in her private garden by the Tiber or at her country house at Baiae – into the public object of the trial of Caelius. In so doing, Cicero accused her of having used these built spaces in a manner that had infringed on social spaces that were unsuitable for respectful women, because they were, so he insinuated, reserved for men. It is the infringement of these #gendered social spaces that constitute her worst transgression according to Cicero."

Guter Punkt! Was wären das jetzt in rechten Portalen für Schlagzeilen, was würden sich Weidel, Brandner, Höcke von der AfD, aber auch Dobrindt, Merz, Söder von der CDU/CSU überschlagen wären Linke, -Gott bewahre- vielleicht sogar Antifas, oder am Ende vielleicht Geflüchtete mit solch einem Waffenlager aufgeflogen.

Aber wenn ihre Kameraden auffliegen, dann geht es auf Tauchstation.

A quotation from Cicero

But you were so utterly devoid of sense, that throughout the whole of your speech you were disputing with yourself, saying things which not only were inconsistent with each other, but involved direct contradiction and opposition, so that the contest was not so much between you and me as between Antonius and Antonius.
 
[Tam autem eras excors, ut tota in oratione tua tecum ipse pugnares, non modo non cohaerentia inter se diceres, sed maxime disiuncta atque contraria, ut non tanta mecum quanta tibi tecum esset contentio.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher

A quotation from Cicero

And I am not against peace, but I dread war camouflaged as peace. Therefore, if we wish to enjoy peace, we must wage war; if we fail to wage war, we shall never enjoy peace.
