>Diogenes of Oenoanda
I had not heard of this guy. I was getting him confused with Diogenes Laertius, who I have a few fragments/testimonia on in this one book I have. A couple here:
>The Epicurean understands happiness in two senses: one sense pertains to the supreme and highest pleasure, which has no tension whatsoever built into it; such is the happiness that is available to the divine. The other sense refers to the happiness that is possible by means of additions and subtractions of pleasure
And
>Epicurus was in the habit of calling all those who used to hobnob with Plato "flatterers of tyrants." Moreover, Epicurus considered the Cynics enemies of Greece and the dialecticians prolific...corruptors. As for Pyrrho, Epicurus thought of him as illiterate and uneducated.
