"...the good life is not lived widely, but deeply. It is not doing things, but understanding what you do, that brings real excitement and lasting pleasure. What you must do is to spend 23 hours of every day of your life doing whatever falls in your way, whether it be duty or pleasure or necessary for your health or physical well-being. But - and this is the most difficult thing - you must set aside one hour of your life every day for yourself, in which you attempt to understand what you are doing."

-Robertson Davies
