Fortis vero, dolorem summum malum judicans; aut temperans, voluptatem summum bonum statuens, esse certe nullo modo potest. No man can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil; nor temperate, who considers pleasure the highest good.
—Cicero

—Cicero
He also said “Honestas omnis et neglegendo turpitudo”, All the honesty and neglect of obscenity. I think this is very apt to Kimberlin as his entire adult life has been one of moral turpitude, an English word whose origin is cited in the Latin above. Turpitudo or obscenity is a rather pointed word. I feel it epitomizes Brett’s life: an obscenity.
