Often I ask myself, as if I were directing the question to another person, how do you attempt to reconcile your belief in the sacral with even your rudimentary socialism? But I see no need to apologize for believing, with the same will, that man has a moral nature which he must obey, but that beyond it is a truly human community in which he must believe. It was not I who made the division between them.
