Quote

"'Now I know,' she said, 'the further cause of your sickness, and it is a very serious one. You have forgotten your own identity. So I have now fully elicited the cause of your illness, and the means of recovering your health. Forgetting who you are has made you confused, and this is why you are upset at being both exiled and stripped of your possessions." --Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy

My grandmother and Mama Leopard were quoting Boethius to me all those years and not even knowing it!
