Summary

This quote suggests that indulging in a life focused solely on pleasure and seeking constant gratification can eventually lead to a loss of depth and seriousness in one's thinking.

It implies that there needs to be a balance between pleasure and more meaningful pursuits in order to maintain a strong and thoughtful mind.
