Notable quotes

“Ἔλλαβε πορφύρεος θάνατος καὶ μοῖρα κραταιή.”
— By purple death I'm seized and fate supreme.
“Can anyone be proved innocent, if it be enough to have accused him?”
— Julian, at the trial of Numerius, governor of Gallia Narbonensis, who was accused of embezzlement. Numerius had successfully defended himself against the prosecutor Delphidius, who in his exasperation, declared whether anyone could be found guilty if they only denied the charges, which provoked Julian's response. Reported in Ammianus, Res gestae, bk. 18, ch. 1, sec. 4 (tr. J. C. Rolfe, i, 1935 )
“I feel awe of the gods, I love, I revere, I venerate them, and in short have precisely the same feelings towards them as one would have towards kind masters or teachers or fathers or guardians or any beings of that sort.”
— Oration to the Cynic Heracleios (tr. W. C. Wright, ii, 1913 )
“Nature loves to hide her secrets, and she does not suffer the hidden truth about the essential nature of the gods to be flung in naked words to the ears of the profane...”
— Oration to the Cynic Heracleios (tr. W. C. Wright, ii, 1913 )
“By the gods I do not want the Galileans to be killed or beaten unjustly nor to suffer any other ill. I do, however, state that the god-fearing (theosebeis) should be preferred to them … honour should go to the gods and to the men and cities that worship them.”
— As quoted in Julian the Apostate (1978), by G. W. Bowersock, Ch. 8 : The Puritanical Pagan, p, 83
“Nullas infestas hominibus bestias, ut sunt sibi ferales plerique Christianorum expertus.”
— No wild beasts are such enemies to mankind as are most of the Christians in their deadly hatred of one another.
