Constantine P. Cavafy Quotes

If You Cannot Fashion Your Life As You Would Like,
endeavour To Do This At Least,
as Much As You Can: Do Not Trivialize It
through Too Much Contact With The World,
through Too Much Activity And Chatter.
Do Not Trivialize Your Life By Parading It,
running Around And Displaying It
in The Daily Stupidity
of Cliques And Gatherings
until It Becomes Like A Tiresome Guest.
("As Much As You Can")
