Epicurus@epicurus · c. 300 BC
The pleasures of the palate do not produce a pleasant life; nor do wine and the continuous round of parties and fishing trips and hunting and the daily company of boys and women and all the other things that a luxurious banquet offers. What produces a pleasant life is sober reasoning.
— Epicurus, Letter to Menoeceus (preserved in Diogenes Laërtius, Lives X)
Ancient Greece
