Sometimes it is of the utmost importance to be completely honest with who you are, be it a psychotic weirdo or a boring bookworm. This is me, being both.

Tacitus, Nero and Agrippina

Section IIe- lines 15-19

Agrippinam abeuntem, artius oculis et pectori haerens, vel ut
simulationem expleret vel quod periturae matris supremus
aspectus ferum animum retinebat.
