“Duyguları ve hayatı muhafaza eden, ruhun potansiyellerini idareli kullanan, afyon dozunu Goethe gibi ayarlayabilene ne mutlu! Bu kişilerde hâkim olan hayal gücüdür yalnız, duygu değil. Byron, Schiller, Camões, Tasso genç öldü; kalpleri öldürdü onları. Homeros ile Goethe, Sofokles ile Voltaire yaşlılıktan öldü; hayal gücü besliyordu onları, yaşamları harcanmadı, zira hayal gücü duyguları harcamaz. Hayal etmek düş görmektir: Hayat bu sırada uyuyup dinlenir; hissetmek aktifçe yaşamaktır: Yorar, tüketir.”
