Do not the angels differs from us in this respect, that they do not want so many things as we do? Therefore the less we need, the more we are on our way to them; the more we need, the more we sink down to this perishable life.
Saint John Chrysostom, Charles Marriott (1852). “The Homilies of S. John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, on the Gospel of St. John: Hom. xlii-lxxxviii”, p.711
