A slight touch of friendly malice and amusement towards those we love keeps our affections for them from turning flat. (Aristotle )
One should never direct people towards happiness, because happiness too is an idol of the market-place. One should direct them towards mutual affection. A beast gnawing at its prey can be happy too, but only human beings can feel affection for each other, and this is the highest achievement they can aspire to. (Aristotle )
