Meaning and analysis
Kwize Master
Amory hears a conversation in his head, during which a voice asks questions about his situation and answers them. After having talked about his financial situation, the discussion focuses on morality and the fact that one does not regret his youth but regrets the unique experience of losing one's innocence. To become innocent again will therefore allow us to give ourselves the opportunity to live one more time the unique experiences after which we become blasé.
