“What was it that led the Cynics to repudiate pleasure in any form, if it was not the fact that pain is, in a greater or less degree, always bound up with pleasure? (...) The same truth is contained in that fine French proverb: le mieux est Vennemi du bien —leave well enough alone.” — Arthur Schopenhauer
