Imagine every man who is grieved at anything or discontented to be like a pig which is sacrificed and kicks and screams.
Like this pig also is he who on his bed in silence laments the bonds in which we are held.
And consider that only to the rational animal is it given to follow voluntarily what happens; but simply to follow is a necessity imposed on all.
—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 10.28
