فكيف كان يتسنّى لي - و أنا في عنفوان الشباب - أن أشعر بشوقٍ قليل إلى المتعة الأولى؟... و كيف قدر لي أن أرقب ساعة القرب بألم أكثر مني بابتهاج؟... كيف حدث أنني شعرت بنفور و خوف تقريبًا، بدلا من أن أشعر بالمباهج التي كانت خليقة بأن تسكرني؟

To decide that the son of a slave is born a slave is to decide that he is not born a man.
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. Give each his place, and keep him there. Control human passions according to man's nature; that is all we can do for his welfare. The rest depends on external forces, which are beyond our control.
