Quotes by Nicola Gardini (?)

“Learning Latin affords us the special gratification of experiencing this complexity, which is ultimately part of one of the highest ambitions of being human: achieving linguistic beauty.”
― Nicola Gardini, Long Live Latin: The Pleasures of a Useless Language

“[…] once properly attired, I step into the ancient courts of ancient men, where, a beloved guest, I nourish myself on that food that is mine alone and for which I was born; where I speak to them without inhibition and ask them the reasons behind their actions; and in their humanity they reply; and for four hours I feel not a drop of boredom, think nothing of my cares, am fearless of poverty, unrattled by death; I transfer all of myself into them. (Letter to Francesco Vettori, December 10, 1513)”

“Even the reaction of those who witness the event is similar in the two authors: “Conclamat vir paterque” in Livy (I.58.12), “it clamor ad alta / atria” in Virgil (IV.665–66).”
