“We must free ourselves from all the trivial curiosity that destroys and disfigures our lives; first of all we must root out the stubborn tendency to let our hearts be carried away by anything new, to chase after the topical and as a result to be always on tenterhooks, waiting to see what will happen tomorrow. 'Otherwise you cannot attain peace or well-being, but only disappointment and revulsion. Do you want worldly vice to be shattered on the threshold of your peaceful dwelling? If you do, then banish from your soul all those restless passions that are aroused by worldly events, all those latest pieces of news. Bolt your door against all noise, all echoes of what is going on outside. If you have sufficient resolution, eschew even light literature, for it too, essentially, is nothing but that same noise in written form.”
