... modern morality has no influence on our actions; this is a cute deception, moral decency, clothing - nothing more. Each person for his official morality has its hidden'esprit de conduite; officially, he will cry that the poor are poor, officially he is a noble lion would stand up for a woman's honor - privatim* he takes a terrible interest, privatim he considers himself the right to dishonor a woman if you agreed with her price. The constant lies, the constant duplicity has made that less of the wild impulses, and twice as much knavery, that rarely people speak another harsh word in the eyes and almost always blacken his eye...
* Here: in private life (lat.).

For the future of science has nothing to fear. But I pity a generation that, having, if not perfect lighting of the day, probably morning, is suffering in darkness or pampered trivia from, that is back to the East. For that withdrawn from seeking the good of both worlds: the past, the deceased caused by them sometimes, but being in the shroud, and the present, they are not born?

From the moment when the baby is smiling and opens his eyes at the breast of his mother, until, until, being reconciled with his conscience and God, he just quietly closes her eyes, confident that while he's going down, it will move to the abode where there is neither weeping nor sighing, - everything is so settled, that he has not developed any simple idea, not met any one simple, clear idea. He mother's milk sucks dope; no sense is not distorted, is not affected by the natural path. School education is continuing what is done at home, it generalizes an optical illusion, the book reinforces it, theoretically legitimizes the traditional trash and trains the children to ensure that they knew, not understanding, took the name for the definition.
