There are more things, Lucilius, likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality.
Plura sunt, Lucili, quæ nos terrent quam quæ premunt, et sæpius opinione quam re laboramus.
—Lucius Annæus Seneca, Ad Lucilium epistolæ morales, epis xiii (64 CE).

«¿Quieres conocer la causa de ello? Todo el tiempo que ha transcurrido se halla en un mismo lugar, se contempla de una vez, yace conjuntamente; todo él termina en un mismísimo abismo. Por lo demás no pueden existir largos intervalos en esa realidad que, en su conjunto, es de breve duración. Un punto es el tiempo de nuestra vida y menos todavía que un punto; mas también de esta realidad mínima la naturaleza se burló dándole la apariencia de una más larga duración. Una parte de ella constituyó la infancia, otra la niñez, otra la juventud, otra ese declinar que se extiende de la juventud a la vejez, otra la propia vejez. ¡Cuántos peldaños para una escalada tan corta!»
Séneca: Epístolas morales a Lucilio, I. Editorial Gredos, p��g. 288. Madrid, 1986
