  1. 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.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Tusculan Disputations [Tusculanae Disputationes], Book 1, ch. 3 (1.3) / sec. 6 (1.6) (45 BC) [tr. Yonge (1853)]

    Rare Energy: Substance Wrapped in Elegance

    There was a time when communication required patience. People waited weeks, months, sometimes years for a letter to arrive. Today, a message crosses the world in seconds. Information is immediate, conversations are instant, and answers are always within reach. Perhaps that's why I find slow things fascinating. In a culture built around speed, anything that unfolds at its own pace feels increasingly rare. Not delayed, not inaccessible—simply unhurried. It doesn't compete for attention or […]
