quodque1 nunc facimus, cum laxati curis sumus, ut spectare
aliquid velimus et visere, id multo tum faciemus liberius2 totosque nos in contemplandis rebus perspiciendisque ponemus, propterea quod et natura inest
in mentibus nostris insatiabilis quaedam cupiditas veri
videndi et orae ipsae locorum illorum, quo pervenerimus, quo faciliorem nobis cognitionem rerum caelestium, eo maiorem cognoscendi cupiditatem dabant.
Tusculanae Disputationes. M. Tullius Cicero. M. Pohlenz. Leipzig. Teubner. 1918.
