Let us not forget what befits our present state in the pursuit of vain fancies. Mankind has its place in the sequence of things; childhood has its place in the sequence of human life; the man must be treated as a man and the child as a child.

Binbir yere bağlanmaya çalışırken hepsi elimden kaçıp da kendi kendime kalınca, dengemi yeniden buldum. Her yandan sıkıştırılmama karşın o dengeyi koruyorsam, artık hiçbir şeye bağlanmadığımdan, yalnızca kendime dayandığımdandır.
