"Wir mögen noch so oft betonen, der menschliche Intellekt sei kraftlos im Vergleich zum menschlichen Triebleben, und recht damit haben. Aber es ist doch etwas Besonderes um diese Schwäche; die Stimme des Intellekts ist leise, aber sie ruht nicht, ehe sie sich Gehör geschafft hat. Am Ende, nach unzählig oft wiederholten Abweisungen, findet sie es doch."
