Quote
As Aristotle said, 'Excellence is a habit.'

He only wants to relax until he's ready to renew such a feeling all over again because to him, all else has become absolutely trivial.

How easily such a thing can become a mania, how the most normal and sensible of women once this passion to be thin is upon them, can lose completely their sense of balance and proportion and spend years dealing with this madness.
