ἀνέχου καί ἀπέχου –
ἀνέχου καί ἀπέχου can be translated into English as “bear and forebear” (my favorite), or also as “endure and renounce.” It is found attributed to Epictetus in a handful of sources.
About me:
Kevin was first exposed to Stoicism by a fortuitous twist of fate in a middle school Latin course, where he came to be known by the name of ‘Epictetus’ after finding a copy of “The Golden Sayings” on his family bookshelf (despite it being a Greek title). While studying a variety of philosophies and religions since, he always felt a pull back to Epictetus and Marcus, which resulted in his further study and practice in the School. Kevin’s philosophical work these days mostly focuses on Musonius Rufus and Epictetus with a strong orientation towards ἄσκησις.
Kevin has been involved with The College of Stoic Philsophers since 2014. He is a graduate of the SES Course and the Marcus Aurelius School, and is a Fellow of the College of Stoic Philosophers. He has been a Mentor and Tutor as well. He runs and writes the MountainStoic blog, and has made an appearance on Exeter College’s “Stoic Week” website and the “Traditional Stoicism” site.
In his free time, Kevin competes in Sumo wrestling, builds and uses analogue cameras, writes, and does tabletop roleplaying game design.

Ahoy Kevin,
a realy nice, prokoptonic website! 🙂 The Epictetean Motto is also nice! Thanks for righteous effort! 🙂
I would like to quote from your article on Socrates’ meditation in my PhD thesis. Is this all right, and how should I cite your article?
“K.L. Patrick” aa the author would be fine. I’m sure your style guide has more specifics for online resources regarding titles and articles. What’s the thesis on, and would you make a digital copy available to me when it’s finished and approved?
Hi Kevin, Thank you. Yes of course, you can read it. It’s due in May, and is on philosophy of consciousness, philosophical and spiritual askesis, and ecology. I very much enjoyed your article. All the best, Julie
Julie, how did your defense go? Is your thesis available for me to read, by chance?
Hi Kevin, Thanks for writing! The thesis is about one month from completion and will then go through an examination process which can take 3-5 months. I can let you know when that process is over. kind regards, Julie ________________________________
