There is no formula for how much food a spirit needs to grow; but if his taste leads him to independence, prompting him to come and go quickly, to wander, perhaps even to adventure, for which only the most alert spirits are fit, then he would rather live free and on a lean diet than in dependence and with a full stomach. A good dancer doesn't want to get bloated, so he expects vitality and a high degree of flexibility from nutrition, and I don't know if a philosopher could wish for anything more than to be a good dancer. Dance is his ideal, his art, his devotion and ultimately his only "worship".

"Nincs képlet arra vonatkozóan, hogy egy szellemnek a növekedéshez mennyi táplálékra van szüksége; de ha ízlése a függetlenség felé vezérli őt, a gyors jövés-menésre, a vándorlásra, talán a kalandra is ösztönzi, amelyekre csak a legéberebb szellemek alkalmasak, akkor inkább szabadon él és sovány koszton, mint függőségben és teli gyomorral. A jó táncos nem akar elpocakosodni, ezért életerőt és nagyfokú rugalmasságot vár a táplálkozástól és nem tudom, hogy egy filozófus kívánhatna-e egyebet annál, hogy jó táncos legyen. A tánc az ideálja, művészete, áhítata és végső soron egyedüli "istentisztelete"."
