“ One can easily forgive a certain adventurousness in a young man, but it is another matter when this takes the upper hand to such an extent as to make it out to be the normal and the real. One owes it to a person who has gone astray in this way to shout: ‘Think of the end!’ and to explain that the word ‘end’ does not mean death, for even that is not a person’s hardest task, but life ”
