"Just as when meat or other foods are set before us we think, this is a dead fish, a dead bird or pig; and also, this fine wine is only the juice of a bunch of grapes, this purple-edged robe just sheep's wool dyed in a bit of blood from a shellfish; or of sex, that it is only rubbing private parts together followed by a spastic discharge--in the same way our impressions grab actual events and permeate them, so we see them as they really are."

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 6.13.

It does sound incredibly aspie, but the Stoics apparently made an exercise out of making almost cynical statements about reality to break it down to its actual elements, devoid of our emotional attachments. The goal was to work against our tendency to lose our minds in pursuit of desires like money, ambition, sex, praise, etc.
