Цитаты Марк Анней Лукан
„God cheats men into living on by hiding how blessed it is to die.“
— Marcus Annaeus Lucanus
De Bello Civili Libri X
„Sive parens rerum, cum primum informia regna
Materiamque rudem flamma cedente recpit,
Fixit in aeternum causas, qua cuncta coercet
Se quoque lege tenens, et saecula iussa ferentem
Fatorum inmoto divisit limite mundum;
Sive nihil positom est sed fors incerta vagatur
Fertque refertque vices, et habet mortalia casus:
Sit subitum, quodcumque paras; sit caeca future
Mens hominum fati; liceat sperare timenti.“
— Marcus Annaeus Lucanus
Lucan: The Civil War
„From Iolcus the sea was first challenged, when the untried Argo scorned the shore and brought together nations that before were strangers; she first matched mankind against the raging winds and waves of ocean, and by her means a new form of death was added to the old.“
— Marcus Annaeus Lucanus
Lucan: The Civil War
„Whether the author of the universe, when the fire gave place and he first took in his hand the shapeless realm of raw matter, established the chain of causes for all eternity, and bound himself as well by universal law, and portioned out the universe, which endures the ages prescribed for it, by a fixed line of destiny; or whether nothing is ordained and Fortune, moving at random, brings round the cycle of events, and chance is master of mankind - in either case, let they purpose, whatever it be, be sudden; let the mind of man be blind to coming doom; he fears, but leave him hope.“
— Marcus Annaeus Lucanus
