You Can't Have Two Fates

You can't have two fates. You can't simultaneously have the fate of an unrestrained fool and a moderate sage. You can't maintain a nightlife and be able to create something during the day. You can't indulge in food and alcohol that destroy the body, and yet hope to have a body that functions with minimal destruction. A candle that burns at both ends may, of course, spread the brightest light, but the darkness that follows will be long.
