He that overtalks himself on the topics of the "Dionysian" and the "Apollonian", he has evidently never shown up well and fully inebriated to his choir practice.
If, on the other hand, anyone wants to witness the union of the two, such a one ought to take a stroll in the streets of a university town, late on a Saturday night in May.

"Accustom yourself to be master of the following: first of all, of your stomach, of sleep, of lust, and of anger."
- Golden Verses of Pythagoras, 9-11
"There are three gates leading to this hell - lust, anger, and greed. Every sane man should give these up, for they lead to the degradation of the soul. The man who has escaped these three gates of hell, O son of Kunti, performs acts conducive to self-realization and thus gradually attains the supreme destination."
- Bhagavad Gita, 16.21-22
"There is no possibility of one's becoming a yogi, O Arjuna, if one eats too much, or eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough. He who is temperate in his habits of eating, sleeping, working and recreation can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system."
- Bhagavad Gita, 6.16-17

"Contemplation of God in woman is the most complete and perfect, because in this way he contemplates God in both the active and receptive modes, whereas by contemplating God only in himself, he beholds him particularly in a receptive mode. Because of this the Prophet ο·Ί loved women, because of the perfection of his witness of God in them"

Remember
No matter what you do, you will always have your detractors. This will never cease to occur. Do not change your course to critics. Hear the constructive criticism from close friends, and take it under advisement. Even then, be prepared to walk alone. Be spiritually self-confident and, if necessary, charge alone as your own vanguard. Never doubt yourself or your cause. All there can ever be is the attack.

βBut, father, what would be the best way to gain an advantage over the enemy?β
βBy Zeus,β said he, βthis is no easy or simple question that you ask now, my son; but, let me tell you, the man who proposes to do that must be designing and cunning, wily and deceitful, a thief and a robber, overreaching the enemy at every point.β
βO Heracles, father,β said Cyrus with a laugh, βwhat a man you say I must become!β
βSuch, my son,β he said, βthat you would be at the same time the most righteous and law-abiding man in the world.β
βWhy then, pray, did you use to teach us the opposite of this when we were boys and youths?β
βAye, by Zeus,β said he; βand so we would have you still towards your friends and fellow-citizens; but, that you might be able to hurt your enemies, do you not know that you all were learning many villainies?β
~ Xenophon, Cyropaedia

"The endless cycle of idea and action,
Endless invention, endless experiment,
Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness;
Knowledge of speech, but not of silence;
Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word.
All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance,
All our ignorance brings us nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.
Where is the Life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries
Bring us farther from God and nearer to the Dust."
~T.S. Eliot
