For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? - The Bible, Matthew 16:26 :: NASB

[Boswell] I suggested a doubt, that if I were to reside in London, the exquisite zest with which I relished it in occasional visits might go off, and I might grow tired of it.
JOHNSON. 'Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.'
~ THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON, by James Boswell
