“to a certain extent sacred”

I continue to enjoy starting my days with a brief peek at distant ocean sunrises (with dogs) on the Internet, from Ireland and the UK to Virginia Beach. But I need to dial that back, one or two should suffice. 


On the other hand, I might not then find gems like this from my favorite misanthrope:


"Do not shorten the morning by getting up late, or waste it in unworthy occupations or in talk; look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred."

— Arthur Schopenhauer, Counsels and Maxims
