Meditations — Marcus Aurelius

A quiet constellation of thoughts written in the margins of power, Meditations is a book not meant to instruct the world, but to steady the soul. In spare, luminous fragments, Marcus Aurelius turns inward, weighing duty against desire, impermanence against virtue. The prose is austere yet tender—like a flame sheltered from the wind—offering timeless counsel on how to live with humility, reason, and grace amid the clamor of existence.
