You are a man still young, so to say, in your first youth and so put intellect above everything.

More on Youth
“Time. It hangs heavy for the bored, eludes the busy, flies by the for young, and runs out for the aged.”
“Heat of blood makes young people change their inclinations often, and habit makes old ones keep to theirs a great while.”
“Youth, which is forgiven everything, forgives itself nothing: age, which forgives itself everything, is forgiven nothing.”
More on Intellect
“We are underbred and low-lived and illiterate; and in this respect I confess I do not make any very broad distinction between theilliterateness of my townsman who cannot read at all and the illiterateness of him who has learned to read only what is for children and feeble intellects. We should be as good as the worthies of antiquity, but partly by first knowing how good they were.”
“In a seriously intended intellectual emancipation a person's mute passions and cravings also hope to find their advantage.”
“The highest, most varied and lasting pleasures are those of the mind.”
