Pliny the Younger (c. 61/62-113)
“Create something, perfect it to be yours for all time; for everything else you possess will fall to one or another master after you are dead, but this will never cease to be yours once it has come into being.”
- The Letters of Pliny the Younger (1.3), translated by Betty Radice. New York: Penguin Classics, 1963, 1969.
