original: "Και οὕτω θεῶν καὶ ἀνθρώπων θείων καὶ εὐδαιμόνων βίος, ἀπαλλαγὴ τῶν ἄλλων τῶν τῇδε, ἀνήδονος τῶν τῇδε, φυγὴ μόνου πρὸς μόνον." — And thus is the life of gods and of divine and happy men, a liberation from all other things here, a life without pleasure in things here, a flight of the alone to the alone. — PLOTINI Op. p. 771.
