"Strange thing, I understood that both feelings are equally indispensable for the life of the human collective. Sexual desire is necessary for the perpetuation of the human race, the need for glory, for the continuation of the evolution of human thought. The pursuit of the first is the perpetuation of life, the pursuit of the second is the evolution, the perfection of life.

Strange thing, I understood that both feelings are equally indispensable for the life of the human collective. Sexual desire is necessary for the perpetuation of the human race, the need for glory, for the continuation of the evolution of human thought. The pursuit of the first is the perpetuation of life, the pursuit of the second is the evolution, the perfection of life.
""Ciudat lucru, am înțeles că ambele sentimente sunt în aceeași măsură indispensabile pentru viața colectivității umane. Dorința sexuală e necesară pentru perpetuarea neamului omenesc, nevoia de glorie, pentru continuarea evoluției gândirii umane. Urmarea primeia e perpetuarea vieții, urmarea celei de-a doua e evoluția, desăvârșirea vieții."
