MARCUS: Don’t our friends, the philosophers, put their names on the very books they write condemning the quest for fame?

[Quid? Nostri philosophi nonne in his libris ipsis, quos scribunt de contemnenda gloria, sua nomina inscribunt?]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher

Tusculan Disputations [Tusculanae Disputationes], Book 1, ch. 15 (1.15) / sec. 34 (1.34) (45 BC) [tr. Habinek (1996)]

Cicero suggests a proof of there being an afterlife is that a lot of folk seek after eternal glory and recognition for their actions, from statesmen to poets to craftsmen to, finally, philosophers. He used a similar line in Pro Archia 11/26 (62 BC).

In some sources, the punctuation varies: "Quid nostri philosophi? Nonne ...."
