#Publius Terentius Afer

[melimelomoi-blog]

Telling to myself "it's none of my business" doesn't work for me. I'm curious about everything, I'm a nosy bitch, I want to know all of it, no details left unsaid. I'm human, I consider nothing human alien to me.

Lost Word Of The Day (13)

to gnathonise - to toady or flatter #lostwords #obscurewords #logophilia

How much has the English language lost as a result in the decline in the familiarity with the classical literature of Ancient Greece and Rome? I began musing on this when I came across the verb gathonise which was used particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries to describe the actions a toady or someone who excels in the art of flattery. Gnatho was the name of a character in Eunuchus, a play…

Publius Terentius Afer (Terence): Disposition of women

“I know the disposition of women: when you will, they won’t; when you won’t, they set their hearts upon you of their own inclination.” —Publius Terentius Afer (Terence).

There’s a pretty famous line by the Roman playwright Publius Terentius Afer (aka Terence) who says:

“I am human: nothing human is alien to me”

So do you guys think people like Bruce and Harley who likely spent a good while in academia ever came across it?

And do you think they ever thought about it when they met Joker?

I am human, I consider nothing human alien to me.

“Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto."

Translated: “I am human, I consider nothing that is human alien to me."

"I would never-"

You would if you were tired enough. You would if you were hungry enough. You would if your mind and body had been worn down enough, through pain or disease or toil or violent struggle. You might if you were put on the wrong medicine, or you got the wrong kind of head injury, or you were forced to choose between someone else and yourself. You might if your livelihood was staked on it, or all your hopes and dreams. You might if you didn't know what else to do, if it's what you were taught or if nobody taught you anything else.

I have not been worn down in most of these ways. I have lived a remarkably privileged life. But I have been worn down in some ways. And they were enough to teach me that in the wrong circumstances, any of us can become someone we don't want to be. It's worth keeping that in mind.

"Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto", or "I am human, and I think nothing human is alien to me." - Terence (Publius Terentius Afer)

Okay so that was a whole stuff around getting it uploaded to tumblr, they have removed uploading audio files for now and only way I could get it to link was to log on outside of the app, create a post to make a work around. It's not ideal, but it should download an mp3 file that will play within the app.

Thank you for sending in your quote even if you didn't make it easy with the latin and I hope it plays as it is meant to. Tumblr just never makes it easy.

Attired to please herself: no gems of any kind She wore, nor aught of borrowed gloss in Nature's stead;  And, then her long, loose hair flung round her head Fell carelessly behind.
