"A man is in bondage to whatever he cannot part with that is less than himself."

What can become of him if he is in such bondage to the habit of satisfying the innumerable desires he has created for himself? He is isolated, and what concern has he with the rest of humanity? They have succeeded in accumulating a greater mass of objects, but the joy in the world has grown less.

— Fyodor Dostoevsky
