"Das erste ist, dass der Mensch zu wissen beginnt, dass das Gute und Wahre etwas Höheres ist. Ganz äußerliche Menschen wissen nicht einmal, was gut und was wahr ist. Denn sie meinen, alles, was Gegenstand der Selbstliebe und Weltliebe ist, sei gut, und meinen, alles, was jene Liebe begünstigt, sei wahr."
