Senator: "I'm depressed! I want to kill my wife and myself!!!" Parthenia: "That's a bit extreme! You're wife is ill, so you haven't been laid lately! Big Deal! If you must ... kill your self first, then if you don't change your mind ... kill her!" Senator: "That seems logical!!! Thanks, Parthenia!"

"The nature of the universe has by no means been made through divine power, seeing how great are the faults that mar it. " Lucretius (On the Nature of Things - 99-55 b.c.e. Roman Epicurean Philosopher)
