“Corpses are more fit to be cast out than dung.” A man’s interest then, is to preserve his soul in as dry a state as possible: “The dry is the wisest and best.” It may be pleasure to souls to become moist, but all the same “it is death to the soul to become water.”
-Heraclitus in Coplestone's History of Philosophy Volume 1: Greece and Rome
