" Only the body and its desires cause war, civil discord, and battles, for all wars are due to the desire to acquire wealth, and it is the body and the care of it, to which [d] we are enslaved, which compel us to acquire wealth, and all this makes us too busy to practice philosophy. "

― Plato , Five Dialogues: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo
