If once he thinks there are grown-up people with no more sense than children the authority of age is destroyed and his education is ruined.

And so you repudiate science, you fall back on religion, and religion won't have you any more. Then you relapse into pessimism...Yes, it's the disease of our age, of the end of the century: you're all inverted Werthers.
