Cicero,
Letters to His Friends 9.2.3 (tr. W. Glynn Williams):
And indeed it has long since occurred to me
myself that it would be very nice to leave Rome and
go somewhere else so as to escape seeing or hearing
what was going on here and what was being said.
ac mihi quidem iam pridem
venit in mentem, bellum esse, aliquo exire, ut ea, quae
agebantur hic, quaeque dicebantur, nec viderem nec
audirem.
9.2.5:
Only let us be fixed in this determination — to live
together amid those studies of ours in which we previously sought nothing but delight, but now seek our
salvation also.
modo nobis
stet illud, una vivere in studiis nostris, a quibus antea
delectationem modo petebamus, nunc vero etiam
salutem.
