"The personality of any man is composed of two qualities, the first, mental capacities, memory, cleverness, the ability to be attentive and to concentrate (the main one, in the case of this quality, concentration of attention), the second, the vividness with which he perceives the consciousness of the ideal of perfection . The first is always satisfied with herself, the second always dissatisfied.

""Personalitatea oricărui om se compune din două însușiri, prima, capacitățile mentale, memoria, istețimea, capacitatea de a fi atent și de a se concentra (principalul, în cazul acestei însușiri, concentrarea atenției), a doua, vioiciunea cu care percepe conștiința idealului desăvârșirii. Prima e mereu mulțumita de sine, a doua mereu nemulțumită."
