“تقترن الثورة بالشباب. فبماذا يمكن أن تَعِد الثورة الراشدين؟ قد تَِعد بعضهم بزوال الحظوة، بينما تعد آخرين بالامتيازات، لكنها ليست امتيازات ذات بال، لأنّها لا تتعلّق إلا بالجانب الأكثر بؤساً من الحياة. فامتيازاتها تكون مقرونة بالشّك والعمل المضني وانقلاب عادات الحياة.
أما الشباب فأوفر حظاً :فهو غير مثقل بالأخطاء، والثورة تستطيع أن تشمله بحمايتها تماماً. ثم إن الشّك الذي يطبع فترات الثورة يشكّل بالنسبة إلى الشباب، مزيّة: لأن عالم الآباء هو الذي يتسرب إليه الشك: آه! ما أروع أن تَلِج عالم الراشدين حينما تنهار معاقلهم!”

“وقد انتهـى به المطـاف إلى الاطمئنان إلى أن فكرة الحب الذى يحل فجأة كالصاعقة يحرر المرأة دفعـة واحدة من كل كابح وحشمة، وبما أنّها عفيفة وبريئة، فأنها تسارع إلى منح نفسها للعشيق مثلما تفعل أى فتاة داعـرة، بل أكثر من ذلك، فالحب حرّر بداخلهـا ينبـوع إلهام على درجة من القوة بحيث أن سلوكهـا العفـوى يمكن أن يشبه سلـوك امرأة ذات باع طويل فى الفجــور ..
فعبقـرية الحـب قد تعوّض الخبرة فى رمشة عيـن ..”

“لم يكن الشعور بالذنب هو دافعه الوحيد للمخاطرة، بل كره المذلة التي تجعل من الحياة نصف حياة، ومن الإنسان نصف إنسان. أراد أن يضع حياته في كفة الميزان، والموت في الكفة الأخرى. كان يود أن يقيس كل فعل من أفعاله، بل كل يوم من أيامه، وكل ساعة، وكل ثانية، بالمعيار الأسمى الذي هو الموت.”
