Marcus Aurelius
Marcus Aurelius@marcus-aurelius Β· c. 161–180 CE

Men seek retreats for themselves, houses in the country, sea-shores, and mountains; and thou art in the habit of longing for those. But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men; for it is in thy power whenever thou shalt choose to retire into thyself.

β€” Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book IV.3 (trans. George Long, 1862)
