"If you like you can listen (to the sirens) yourself, for you may get the men to bind you ... to, the mast itself, that you may have the pleasure of listening. If you beg and pray the men to unloose you, then they must bind you faster." - Homer, The Odyssey (circa 900bc)
"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" -Matthew 16-26, King James Bible
