I was reading the 1st/early 2nd c. AD Roman Stoic philosopher Epictetus and am paraphrasing him -
Because he always was renouncing dependence on external material things, people said he was funny and that that was no way to live a life, and he said that if you weren't acquainted with the medical arts, you'd think that cutting open an eye wasn't the first stage of healing it, but it is.
