“Kalos Kai Agathos, the singular balance of the good and the beautiful.”

“I wanted to experience both. I wanted worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. I wanted what the Greeks called kalos kai agathos, the singular balance of the good and the beautiful.

As for how to balance the urge for pleasure against the longing for devotion…well, surely there was a way to learn that trick.”
