HE WHO HOPES TO GROW IN SPIRIT
WILL HAVE TO TRANSCEND OBEDIENCE AND RESPECT.
HE'LL HAVE TO CLING TO SOME LAWS
BUT MOSTLY HE'LL VIOLATE BOTH LAW AND CUSTOM
AND GO BEYOND THE ESTABLISHED, INADEQUATE NORM .
SENSUAL PLEASURES WILL HAVE MUCH TO TEACH HIM.
HE WON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DESTRUCTIVE ACT;
HALF THE HOUSE WILL HAVE TO COME DOWN .
THIS WAY HE WILL GROW VIRTUOUSLY INTO WISDOM.
-- C. P. Cavafy
