Please, bb. Give us something quotable--like Cicero.
(p.s. V thought C's writings were hieroglyphic!)
O.K., from the Tusculan Disputations (courtesy E. Voegelin, translator, and on-point regarding the problem of pneumopathological disease):
"As there are diseases of the body, so there are diseases of the mind (morbi animorum); the diseases are generally caused through a confusion of the mind by twisted opinion (pravarum opinionum conturbatio), resulting in a state of corruption (corruptio opinionum); the diseases of this type can arise only through a rejection of Reason (ex aspernatione rationis); hence, as distinguished from diseases of the body, mental diseases can never occur without guilt (sine culpa); and since this guilt is possible only for man who has Reason, the diseases do not occur in animals."
Ecce Cicero....
