BOOK 10 -38


Remember that what pulls the strings is that part of us hidden inside: that is the power to act, that is the principle of life, that, one could say, is the man himself. So never give any equal thought to the vessel which contains it or the organs built round it, These are an instrument like an ax, differing only in their attachment to the body. There is no more use in these parts without the weaver, the pen without the writer, the whip without the driver.
