In the letter from Francesco Vettori quoted above, after lamenting the inability to write everything, Niccolòs correspondent explains why he has fallen in love. Vettori, serving as the Florentine ambassador to the pope, has little to do:I wrote you that idleness made me fall in love and I reaffirm this to you, because I have practically nothing to do. I cannot read much, by reason of my eyesight, which has been diminished by age. I cannot go out and enjoy myself unless I am accompanied, and this cannot always be done: I do not have so much authority or such resources as to be sought out; if I spend my time in thought, most of them bring me melancholy, which I try my best to flee; of necessity one must endeavor to think of pleasant things, but I know of nothing that gives more delight to think about and to do than fucking. Every man may philosophize all he wants, but this is the utter truth, which many people understand this way but few will say.
Sage for lack of hardcore. Even though it's a decent quote that is a universal truth.
saging something doesn't make it drop any faster, it just means you can respond without bumping itif you have nothing to say, just don't respond, even with a sage
