We are motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is the more he is inspired by glory. The very philosophers themselves, even in those books which they write in contempt of glory, inscribe their names.
我们被强烈的赞美欲望所激励，一个人越优秀，他就越会受到荣誉的激励。就是哲学家自己，甚至在他们藐视荣耀所写的书上，也写上了他们的名字。

然而，正是在这种孤独中，最深刻的活动才开始。正是在这里，你发现了没有运动的行动，那是深沉的休息的劳动，在朦胧中看到的远景，以及超越所有欲望的满足，它的极限延伸到无限。
