Seneca one of my favorite stoic philosophers says, in fact, that we must read like a spy in the enemy's camp. Seneca writes letters from a stoic. He's a stoic philosopher and yet the philosopher he quotes most in his letters is Epicurus - his rival right. He says "I will quote a bad author if the line is good".

Epicurus gets a very bad rap. People think he's this gluttonous hedonist pervert or whatever. He says yes pleasure is the highest good but his definition of pleasure is moderation.
