### Part 1 — Distance from Desire

- Scene 3 · LM II:107 §1 · paragraph §1.1
  - HE: פַּעַם אֶחָד דִּבֵּר מֵעִנְיַן מִאוּס וְהַרְחָקַת הַתַּאֲוָה הַכְּלָלִית, שֶׁהִיא תַּאֲוַת נִאוּף.
  - EN (our paraphrase): Once he spoke about despising and keeping far from the general desire, the physical desire between man and woman.
- Scene 4 · LM II:107 §1 · paragraph §1.2
  - HE: עָנָה וְאָמַר: הִנֵּה אֲכִילָה, עַל־כָּל־פָּנִים נִתּוֹסֵף לְהָאָדָם כֹּחַ וְחִיּוּת עַל־יְדֵי־זֶה, אֲבָל זֹאת הַתַּאֲוָה, הֲלֹא אַדְּרַבָּא, הִיא מַפְסֶדֶת וּמַזֶּקֶת הַחִיּוּת מְאֹד וּמַתֶּשֶׁת כֹּחוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם מְאֹד, בְּוַדַּאי אֵין צְרִיכִין אוֹתָהּ כְּלָל, כִּי־אִם בִּשְׁבִיל קִיּוּם הַמִּין לְבַד:
  - EN (our paraphrase): He said: eating, at least, adds strength and vitality to a person. But this desire, on the contrary, wastes and harms a person's vitality greatly and drains his strength greatly. Surely one does not need it at all, except for the sake of having children.
