Summary

This quote suggests that one should approach life with moderation and balance. Just as it is optimal to leave a banquet without feeling either too thirsty or too drunk, it is advisable to navigate through life with a similar mindset. It reminds us to avoid excesses and extremes, whether they be in our desires, actions, or emotions. By maintaining equilibrium and not giving in to extremes, we can find a sense of contentment and fulfillment, rather than being consumed by excessive longings or indulgences.

I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work - a life's work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before. So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin. But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnacle from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whom is already that one who will some day stand here where I am standing.
