“സംതൃപ്തമായ യുവത്വം നിഷ്ക്രിയമായ യുവത്വവും നിര്ജീവമായ ജീവിതവുമായിത്തീരും... യുവത്വത്തിന് അതിന്റെ അസ്വസ്ഥത നഷ്ടപ്പെടുമ്പോള് അതൊരു യന്ത്രം പോലെ സമര്ത്ഥവും നിര്ജീവവും വന്ധ്യവും ആയിത്തീരും. വന്ധ്യതയ്ക്ക് ഒന്നിനെയും സൃഷ്ടിക്കുവാന് കഴിയാത്തതുകൊണ്ട് പുതിയ ഒരു ലോകക്രമത്തെ നിര്മ്മിക്കുവാനും അതിന് കഴിയില്ല.”
