• The bourgeois thinkers of the eighteenth century thus turned Aristotle's formula on its head: satisfactions which the Greek philosopher had identified with leisure were now transposed to the sphere of work, while tasks lacking in any financial reward were drained of all significance and left to the haphazard attentions of decadent dilettantes. It now seemed as impossible that one could be happy and unproductive as it had once seemed unlikely that one could work and be human.

• Al soltar las cosas que ya no amas o usas, devuelves a ti las partes de tu espíritu que han estado unidas a ellas, y unidas a las necesidades emocionales y recuerdos asociados a esos objetos. Al hacerlo, te traes poderosamente al tiempo presente. Tu energía, en lugar de dispersarse en mil direcciones diferentes e improductivas, se centra y se focaliza. Te sientes más completo espiritualmente y más en paz contigo mismo.
