Greek Original:Δεσμὰ τῆς ψυχῆς, αἱ φλέβες καὶ αἱ ἀρτηρίαι καὶ τὰ νεῦρα. ὅταν δὲ καθ' ἑαυτὴν ἠρεμῇ, δεσμὰ γίνεσθαι αὐτῆς πρὸ τοῦ λόγου καὶ τὰ ἔργα.
Note:
Pythagorean doctrine from
Diogenes Laertius 8.31, here so loosely quoted (as well as abbreviated) as to lose its meaning in the final clause (where reason and deeds
are the bonds).
