"Is it not very important, while we are young, to be loved and to love?
It seems to me that most of us neither love nor are loved.
I think it is essential, while we are young, to understand this problem very seriously because it may be that while we are young we can be sensitive enough to feel it, to know its quality, to know its perfume and perhaps when we grow older, it will not be entirely destroyed.
So, let us consider the question—that is, not that you should not be loved but that you should love.
What does it mean? Is it an ideal?
Is it something far away, unattainable? Or is it something that can be felt by each one at odd moments of the day?"
