Tao Te Ching

“the majority of people suffer from a common disease, as in a plague, with their false notions about things, and their number is increasing (for in mutual emulation they catch the disease from one another, like sheep)”

— Diogenes of Oenoanda Διογένης ὁ Οἰνοανδεύς 77 – 142 CE
Great Preserver of Epicureanism
