You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Righting the balance

And sometimes it just takes an evening in with friends, watching ridiculous 80s movies and eating homemade pizza, to make everything seem alright again.

Supposedly some Greeks had something to say about this.

"The first best thing in life" they said, "is to have never been born. The second best thing is good food and wine with friends".

It's very possible no Greek has ever said that, but if you're looking for a toast at dinner that will bring everyone at the table to the verge of tears, it's a real killer.
