The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms

Procrustes was a character from Greek mythology who abducted travellers and invited them to spend the night in a special bed, which they had to fit to perfection. They never did. This title presents the ideas about life in the form of aphorisms, the world's earliest - and most memorable - literary form.
