Am I sick?

In going through my ancient history notes I found this quote about luxury and morality in Roman society:

"Men eat to vomit and vomit to eat. Their dishes are brought from every corner of the earth - and yet they do not even bother to digest them" (Seneca, Ad Helviam 10.3)

For some bizarre reason I quite like this quote, and so I looked up the first line on Google (as one is wont to do) and it appears to be nowhere on the web... until now of course. I was, though, rather peturbed by the sites it *did* offer me in recompense. I shan't outline them here, you have your own search engines I'm sure, though I rather liked the uncyclopedia entry!
