-
Terence on human interest (for weeping for brunnhilde)
The actual quote is
Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto.
(I'm a human being; I consider nothing human foreign to me. Terence, 2nd century BC. Heautontimorumenos, act 1, sc. 1, line 77.)
In the original context, it's the speaker's justification for being concerned and curious about the difficulties of his neighbor.
Thank you for replying so constantly and so humanly to so many other letter writers.
