❝ “Let it not be thought that I have declared war on pleasure, of which there is a certain limit imposed by nature. Rather, I have declared war on the obsession with pleasure. When asked if, weakened by age, he still enjoyed venereal pleasures, Sophocles replied: ’Gods forbid! I am happy to have escaped from these things as from a rude and furious master.’ When our master is sensual passion, there is no room for temperance and virtue. Not only that. Nature, or God, has given man nothing greater than intelligence. Well: nothing is as contrary to this gift as lust. Nothing more than lust – defined by Plato as ’the bait of all evils’ – hinders reflection, is an enemy of prudence, and hates everything that is honorable.”
