Polygamy is an endeavor to get more out of life than there i

Summary

This quote suggests that polygamy, the practice of having multiple spouses simultaneously, is an attempt to find more fulfillment or satisfaction in life than what is naturally available. It implies that individuals who engage in polygamy may believe that having multiple partners will bring them greater happiness or a richer experience. However, the quote also subtly implies that such a pursuit may be futile, as it suggests that attempting to extract more from life than it inherently offers may ultimately be unsatisfying or unfulfilling.

Thomas De Quincey

Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of ever

Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred --it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the dropsy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust --the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness.

William Hazlitt

The mindset of chasing that next #1 record doesn't exist for me anymore. It's more about being a well-rounded entertainer than being a pop artist. Obviously, it would be wonderful to have a hit record but I don't base my happiness on that anymore. It's about the accomplishment of a project that satisfies me. I just want to enjoy the ride.
