Okay, so I'm writing quotes on Aristotle, some are very large... It's almost as if I have to write 1 third of his book for anyone to fully grasp the work entirely. I guess that's why I have to do a separate one on virtues and vices, the perfect life, and friendship. I've got like 9 pages so far of quotes and I'm only on page 30. I read further than that, but then I thought I better quote as I go so I'm playing catch up.
Plato and Nietzsche were so much easier with all the metaphors and examples. This ethical work by Aristotle is dryer than the Sahara. I'll spruce it up with my own examples but darn it. I want whoever is reading this to see what the philosopher wrote down and not for them to just take my word for it. I have to find a balance after I get the quotes so that I wont bore the reader with too much. I was expecting each dialogue be 10-20 pages long.
First world problems! lol
