Terence
Terence
Publius Terentius Afer, better known in English as Terence, was a playwright of the Roman Republic, of North African descent. His comedies were performed for the first time around 170–160 BC. Terentius Lucanus, a Roman senator, brought Terence to Rome as a slave, educated him and later on, impressed by his abilities, freed him. Terence apparently died young, probably in Greece or on his way back to Rome. All of the six plays Terence wrote have survived...

ProfessionWriter
affairs human men nature
Human nature is so constituted, that all see and judge better in the affairs of other men than in their own.
appear demand men
There is a demand in these days for men who can make wrong appear right.
hearts men-and-women
I know the disposition of women: when you will, they won't; when you won't, they set their hearts upon you of their own inclination
men law opinion
As many opinions as there are men; each a law to himself.
men debt pay
You can take a chance with any man who pays his bills on time.
determination men skills
The life of man is like a game with dice; if you don't get the throw you want, you must show your skill in making the best of the throw you get.
powerful men firsts
It has been said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but many it not be truer to say that to be absolutely powerful a man must first corrupt himself?
men class feelings
What is needed is a spirit of boundary dissolution, between individuals, between classes, sexual orientations, rich and poor, man and woman, intellectual and feeling toned types. If this can happen, then we will make a new world. And if this doesn't happen, nature is fairly pitiless and has a place for us in the shale of this planet, where so many have preceded us.
dope men wheels
I'm meeting my obligations, somehow, always have, without ever truly working, without ever putting my shoulder to the wheel for the man. Of course I had to deal dope to do this!
men
What you call man is time.
mental-illness absence shamanism
One of the things that's so striking about shamanism in the native context is the absence of mental illness.
men years darkness
History is just this froth of artifact production that has appeared in the last ten to fifteen thousand years. It spread across the planet very quickly. But that mind in man just goes back and back into the darkness.
men thinking years
But a mature humanity could get into a place where we no longer required these metaphysical spankings from messiahs and flying saucers that come along every thousand years or so to mess up the mess that has been created and try and send people off on another tack. And the way to do this is to look at the abysses that confront man as species and individuals and try to unify them. And I think that psilocybin offers a way out because it allows a dialogue with the over-mind. You won't read about it in "Scientific American" or anywhere else. You will carry it out.
powerful men mystical-experiences
The thing that is so powerful about the psychedelics is that they perform on demand, which almost in principle you cannot expect of a mystical experience because that would be essentially man ordering God at man's whim, which is not how it's supposed to work.
