'Our opinion, Brutus, is that by no means everything that we see and experience is real or true. In the first place, the perceptions that come to us through the senses are deceptive and unstable, and, secondly, our intelligence is quick to transform the experience itself, which may be quite illusory, into a whole variety of forms. What the senses actually register is like wax, and the human soul, which includes both the plastic faculty and the material upon which it works, can shape and adorn the objects of the senses at will. We can see this process at work in our dreams, where the imagination transforms some quite insubstantial experience into all kinds of emotions and shapes. It is the nature of the imagination to be eternally active, and this action expresses itself in fancy or in thought. Now in your case you have passed through a great many hardships, which have imposed a severe strain on your body, and this condition both stimulates and distorts the intelligence. As for spirits, I do not believe that they exist, or, if they do, that they can take on the appearance and speech of men, or that they can exert a power which is capable of affecting us. For my part, I could even wish that this were true. If it were, we could put our trust not only in our army and our horses and our ships, which are strong enough, but also in the help of the gods, since we are the leaders of a most righteous and sacred cause.' These were the arguments which Cassius used to reassure Brutus.
