Seneca · Moral Letters to Lucilius

Letter 113 — On the Vitality of the Soul and Its Attributes (§15)

A quote
Again, no living thing is part of another living thing. But Justice is a part of the soul; therefore Justice is not a living thing. It looks as if I were wasting time over something that is an acknowledged fact; for one ought to decry such a topic rather than debate it. And no two living things are equal. Consider the bodies of all beings: every one has its particular colour, shape, and size.
