"Marco Aurelio podría muy bien haberse mostrado como un emperador romano en busca de una reputación como sabio filósofo estoico, pero lo que uno se encuentra en las Meditaciones no es más que un hombre a punto de entrar en la vejez, que hace todo lo que puede para sobrellevar las exigencias de la vida."-John Sellars, Lessons in Stoicism: What Ancient Philosophers Teach Us About How to Live
"El proceso pasa por tres fases, señala Séneca: la primera, un primer impulso involuntario, es decir, una reacción fisiológica natural que escapa a nuestro control; la segunda, un juicio —que sí está bajo nuestro control— como respuesta a la experiencia; la tercera, una emoción que, una vez nacida, no podemos controlar. Cuando la emoción aparece, no podemos hacer nada sino esperar a que su fuerza amaine."-John Sellars, Lessons in Stoicism: What Ancient Philosophers Teach Us About How to Live
"Crisipo comparaba el hecho de estar bajo los efectos de una emoción con correr demasiado deprisa. Una vez que se ha cogido cierta cantidad de impulso, no es fácil detenerse. El movimiento está fuera de control, algo muy parecido a lo que ocurre cuando somos presa de una pasión. De modo que uno no puede librarse a voluntad de una emoción indeseada; lo que puede hacer es intentar que la próxima no alcance el impulso a partir del cual escapa a su control."-John Sellars, Lessons in Stoicism: What Ancient Philosophers Teach Us About How to Live
