Plato

Your rat tail is all the fashion now. I prefer a bushy plume, carried straight up. You are Siamese and your ancestors lived in trees. Mine lived in palaces. It has been suggested to me that I am a bit of a snob. How true! I prefer to be.

Thomas Frank

He has committed the crime who profits by it.

Seneca (Seneca the Elder)
