"Sincero y veraz como soy, me es imposible abrir mi corazón: mi alma tiende sin cesar a cerrarse; nunca lo digo todo y solamente he confesado mi vida… - François-Auguste-René de Chateaubriand

"Sincero y veraz como soy, me es imposible abrir mi corazón: mi alma tiende sin cesar a cerrarse; nunca lo digo todo y solamente he confesado mi vida entera en estas Memorias. No hablo nunca con nadie "de paso" de mis intereses, de mis intenciones, de mis trabajos, de mis ideas, de mis afectos de mis alegrías, de mis tristezas, pues estoy convencido del profundo tedio que se causa a los demás hablándoles de uno mismo."

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labour and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.
