21399	Referring to a person, and speaking about him, are very different [Seneca]
	Full Idea: It makes a very great difference whether you refer to the person directly, or speak about him.
	From: Seneca the Younger (Letters from a Stoic [c.60], 117.13), quoted by A.A. Long - Hellenistic Philosophy 4.3.2
	A reaction: We seem to think that the distinctiveness of reference was first spotted by Frege. Not so.
