Saint Basil
First and foremost, the monk should own nothing in this world, but he should have as his possessions solitude of the body, modesty of bearing, a modulated tone of voice, and a well-ordered manner of speech. He should be without anxiety as to his food and drink, and should eat in silence.

I like to be myself, and I don't pretend...In the realm of ideas everything depends on enthusiasm...The invisibility of work and workers in the digital age...I'd rather be a failure at something I love...Today, hundreds of millions dwell in freedom...I'm not saying I don't enjoy the days...
