Summary

This quote emphasizes the transient nature of wealth, suggesting that it can easily come and go. While we may temporarily possess material riches, they do not define our true essence or enduring worth. Instead, it is our character, which remains steadfast and consistent throughout our lives, that truly shapes and defines us. The quote highlights the importance of focusing on building strong, virtuous characters rather than solely pursuing material wealth, as the latter is fleeting and superficial in comparison.

Whenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with trifles. We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to.

There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution
