Equilibrium

I don't know who this Bartolucci guy is, but it is a nice article by Aurelio Porfiri, of whom I also don't know.

Money quote:

Here there comes to mind a phrase of Doctor Plinio, who said: “Equilibrium is not the position of a man sitting peacefully in an armchair. True equilibrium is that of a knight riding on his horse while he realizes all of his potentialities with the maximum intensity.”

I don't know who this is, either, but it sounds Chestertonian.
