“En su Manual nos propone que vivamos nuestra vida como si fuésemos actores en una obra de teatro. No hemos elegido nuestro papel, no decidimos lo que ocurre y no controlamos la duración. Pero, más que luchar contra contra esos factores que no controlamos, nuestra tarea es representar nuestro papel del mejor modo posible”
― John Sellars

“...an anecdote reported by Plato recounts how the early Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus (Aristotle calls him one of the first philosophers) was once so absorbed looking up and studying the stars that he fell into a well; a passing girl mocked him, saying that while he might know the movements of the heavens he didn't know what was directly under his feet.”
― John Sellars

“Los estoicos piensan que todo en la vida es así. Podemos esforzarnos, actuar de la mejor manera posible, pero nunca podremos encontrar del todo el resultado. Si hacemos que nuestra felicidad dependa de lograr un objetivo, corremos el riesgo de desilusionarnos continuamente, pero si nos contentamos con hacer las cosas del mejor modo posible, entonces nada se interpondrá en nuestro camino.

-pág 32”
― John Sellars
