"Civilization, as it is now evolving, as material progress devoid of morals, does not promise anything good. If the good of man was in view, there would be no automobiles. Raising horses from foals and training them are real pleasures... Now the most important thing is for moral progress to reach the material level, and then all material conditions will change. In what way? We cannot predict.

""Civilizația, așa cum evoluează ea acum, ca progres material lipsit de morală, nu promite nimic bun. Dacă s-ar avea în vedere binele omului, nu ar exista automobile. Creșterea cailor de când sunt mânji și dresajul sunt adevărate plăceri... Acum cel mai important lucru e ca progresul moral să ajungă la nivelul celui material, iar atunci toate condițiile materiale se vor schimba. În ce fel? Nu putem prezice."
