>Sometimes, immersed in his books, there would come to him the awareness of all that he did not know, of all that he had not read; and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.

How the FUCK do I deal with this thought?

Under these circumstances I have a duty against which my habits, even more the pride of my instincts, revolt at bottom, namely, to say: Hear me! For I am such and such a person. Above all, do not mistake me for someone else!

Epicurus did not advocate for drinking and fucking, his version of hedonism is so markedly different from de Sade's libertinism that it's not worth mentioning the two as if they are one.

Pro tip: just read what you like, and then read wikipedia or learn clever anecdotes about everything you haven't read that lead back to the stuff you have read. If done right, nobody will ever know the difference. And you can enjoy all the pleasures that well-read individuals enjoy, like boring girls at parties, drunkenly talking at other intellectual-types and getting talked at in return for hours, giving life lessons to teenagers, impressing the elderly, convincing your parents you aren't high, and being the autist in class who won't shut up, but most importantly, you might just learn something.
