Marcus Aurelius on Horseback (recto); Study of an Antique Vase (verso)

Meditations, book 4, 2. Marcus Aurelius.

“People try to get away from it all—to the country, to the beach, to the mountains. You always wish that you could too. Which is idiotic: you can get away from it anytime you like. By going within. Nowhere you can go is more peaceful—more free of interruptions—than your own soul.” 

― Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor.
