"There is no question about that. Business is my hobby. It is not a burden to me. In any case Reliance now can run without me."

Fasting is not bodily hunger but bodily elevation and purity. It is not a body that hungers and longs for food, but a body that rids itself of the desire to eat. Fasting is a time when the soul flourishes and lifts the body up with it. It rids the body of its loads and burdens and lifts it up so that God may work with it without impediment to the happiness of the spiritual entity.

— Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria
