“Credo che si possa tracciare una frontiera molto precisa tra la giovinezza e la vecchiaia: la giovinezza termina con l’egoismo, la vecchiaia inizia con il vivere per gli altri. Io la vedo così: nella vita dei giovani c’è molta gioia e molta sofferenza, perché vivono solo per sé. Allora ogni desiderio e ogni idea diventano importanti; si assapora ogni gioia, ma anche ogni dolore e molti, quando si accorgono che i loro desideri sono irrealizzabili, subito gettano via l’intera vita. Questo è l’atteggiamento dei giovani. Per la maggior parte delle persone però, arriva un momento in cui tutto questo cambia, in cui cominciano a vivere più per gli altri che per se stessi. Certo non per virtù, ma in modo assolutamente naturale.”
