Ryan HolidayAuthor & Stoic philosopher
“Seneca one of my favorite stoic philosophers says, in fact, that we must read like a spy in the enemy's camp. Seneca writes letters from a stoic. He's a stoic philosopher and yet the philosopher he quotes most in his letters is Epicurus - his rival right. He says "I will quote a bad author if the line is good".”
