“The true Epicurean cultivates the capacity to take pleasure in simple things, while those around him chase pleasure in more things.”
― Reclaiming Epicurus
― Reclaiming Epicurus
“It is not society itself that the Epicurean recoils from; it is this society of unceasing struggle for more and more.”
― Reclaiming Epicurus: Penguin Special
― Reclaiming Epicurus: Penguin Special
“The Epicurean message, as the noted French scholar of late antique philosophy Pierre Hadot succinctly explains, is that we must ‘learn to be content with what satisfies fundamental needs, while renouncing what is superfluous.”
