• Even in a personal sense, after all, art is an intensified life. By art one is more deeply satisfied and more rapidly used up. It engraves on the countenance of its servant the traces of imaginary and intellectual adventures, and even if he has outwardly existed in cloistral tranquility, it leads in the long term to overfastidiousness, over-refinement, nervous fatigue and overstimulation, such as can seldom result from a life of the most extravagant passions and pleasures.

• There is such pleasure in long-term marriage that I really would hate to be
  my age and not have had a long-term marriage. Remember, sustaining a pleasurable,

We must recognize the frequent contradictions between short-term benefit and long-term harm.
