An idea from Nicomachean Ethics

The highest happiness is thinking about what is true, the most self-sufficient thing a person can do. It is almost too high for a human. Still, we should, “so far as we can, make ourselves immortal, and strain every nerve to live in accordance with the best thing in us”.

From Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle
