"We should aim rather at leveling down..." - Quote by Aristotle

“We are what we frequently do.”

“The virtue as the art consecrates itself constantly to what's difficult to do, and the harder the task, the shinier the success.”

“The greatest thing in style is to have a command of metaphor.”

“The cords of passion and desire weave a binding net around you. Worldly confrontation makes you stiff and inflexible. The trap of duality is tenacious. Bound, rigid, and trapped, you cannot experience liberation.”

“Appetite, a universal wolf.”

“The sweets we wish for, turn to loathed sours,Even in the moment that we call them ours.”

“Happiness does not consist in having what you want, but in wanting what you have”

“What I know for sure: Having the best things is no substitute for having the best life. When you can let go of the desire to acquire, you know you are really on your way.”

“I love a life whose plot is simple.”
