Quotations

Diogenes Laertius 7.181 (tr. R.D. Hicks):
Apollodoros of Athens in his Collection of Doctrines, wishing to show that what Epicurus wrote with force and originality was far greater in amount than the books of Chrysippus, says, to quote his exact words, "If one were to strip the books of Chrysippus of all extraneous quotations, his pages would be left bare."
If one were to strip the posts of Laudator Temporis Acti of all extraneous quotations, his blog would be left bare.
