People like you and me, though mortal, of course, like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live. What I mean is that we never cease to stand like curious children before the great Mystery into which we are born. This interposes a distance between us and all that is unsatisfactory in the human sphere—and this is no small matter. When, in the mornings, I become nauseated by the news the New York Times sets before us, 1 always reflect that it is anyway better than the Hitlerism that we only barely managed to finish off.
