"I used to run around aimlessly. I thought I was doing something important but really I was in the most pathetic state - thinking that philosophy was the last thing I should be doing"
"In fact, whenever I discuss philosophy or listen to others doing so, I enjoy it enormously, quite apart from thinking it's doing me good. But when I hear other kinds of discussion, especially the talk of rich businessmen like you, I get bored and feel sorry for you and your friends, because you think you're doing something important, when you're not."
