But I have

v.1.p.157
in mind the man who neither hopes nor fears anything.” But how can one achieve this? For the most part we are all slaves of hope and fear.” «Why, if you observe human affairs you will find that they do not afford justification either for hope or for fear, since, whatever you may say, pains and pleasures are alike destined to end.”

When Peregrinus Proteus rebuked him for laughing a great deal and making sport of mankind saying: Demonax, you're not at all doggish!” he answered, Peregrinus, you are not at all human!” [*]
