“But the man and woman of seventy assume to know all, they have outlived their hope, they renounce aspiration, accept the actual for the necessary and talk down to the young. Let them then become organs of the Holy Ghost; let them be lovers; let them behold truth; and their eyes are uplifted, their wrinkles smoothed, they are perfumed again with hope and power.”
“The man who renounces himself, comes to himself.”
“Ten percent of people can think, another ten percent of people think that they think, and eighty percent of people would rather die than be made to think.”
