Aurelius: “on ‘Divine Man'”

“The way nature has blended into the compound whole does not prevent you drawing a boundary around yourself and keeping what is your own in your own control. […] It is wholly possible to become a ‘divine man’ without anybody’s recognition.”

~ Marcus Aurelius
(Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (26 April 121 – 17 March 180))
Roman emperor from 161 to his death in 180.
“Meditations” VII.67
