Summary

This quote suggests that when individuals begin to prioritize material possessions and continuously seek to satisfy their growing desires, they lose sight of the true source of happiness and fulfillment.

For life is short, art eternal.

Today enormous effort goes into convincing the American public that we're just consumers of media manipulation and sound-bites and spin doctors. That we care only about ourselves, money, and stuff.
