I do not like you, Sabidius. I do not know why, but I do not like you.
~ Martial

I read this years and years and years ago. It made me laugh out loud at the time. I still chuckle now when I think of it.
I originally thought it was Marcus Aurelius who said it. It was not. And in some versions it says "love" instead of "like," but I enjoy the quote regardless. It was written down almost 2000 years ago and still exists.
I would say "Poor Sabidius" but I don't know the backstory. There probably was some reason Martial didn't care for him.
