Today’s quote is an old jazz standard. It’s a single sentence that sums up the whole of the Stoicism pretty damn well.

It is on our power to have no opinion about a thing, and not to be disturbed in our soul; for things themselves have no natural power to form our judgements.

I know some people don’t feel that The Final Cut is a real Pink Floyd album but I think it’s a genuine, brilliant album. Roger Waters was anti-war and anti-nuclear and this song does an incredible job splaying his thoughts on the matter out for all to hear. My favorite line, when describing the moments right after a nuclear detonation is “could be the human race is run.” Just give it a listen.
