Pliny the Younger (c. 61/62-113)
“The fortunate man, in my opinion, is he to whom the gods have granted the power either to do something which is worth recording or to write what is worth reading, and most fortunate of all is the man who can do both.”
- The Letters of Pliny the Younger (6.16), translated by Betty Radice. New York: Penguin Classics, 1963, 1969.
