date someone who writes letters to you like cicero writes to atticus
- I decided to write this letter with no real point to it so that it would be almost as if I were speaking to you- the one thing in which I find solace.- letters to atticus 9.10
- Now I have need of your advice, your love, your devotion. So, fly to me- everything will be easy for me if I have you.- letter 2.22
- I’ve just heard that your fever has left you. On my life, I would not have been happier if I myself had recovered.- letter 8.6
- I am waiting for you, and I beg you to hasten to come here and come with the mindset that you’re not going to allow me to be without your advice…I’m pining for you very much.- letter 4.1
- I’m a little annoyed that you did not invite me to Epirus- I’m not a troublesome companion- but farewell. For as you must walk and have your anointment, so must I sleep. As a matter of fact, your letters have made sleep possible for me.- letter 9.7
- On my life, my Atticus, not just my Tusculan villa- where I am in all other respects happy- but even the Isles of the Blessed are not worth enough to me for me to be there so many days without you.- letter 12.3
- I did not want them to go without a letter from me, even though I have nothing to write about to you- especially because you are already nearly here- but that I might show you this very thing, that your arrival is the sweetest and most anticipated thing to me. So, fly to me with this mindset, that as you love me, you know that I love you.- letter 4.4
