And it's interesting, if you think about it, how, when we think about the civilizations that we look up to as having been pinnacles of human achievement -- whether it's China, Greece, the Hindu civilization, or the Mayas, or Egyptians -- what we know about them is really about their ecstasies, not about their everyday life.
Kad malo promisliš, zanimljivo je  da kad mislimo na civilizacije kojima se divimo zbog toga  što su bile vrhunac ljudskog postignuća -- Kina, Grčka, Indija, ili Maje, ili Egipćani --  ono što o njima znamo zapravo je znanje o njihovim ekstazama, ne o njihovoj svakodnevici.
