“The modern man is conscious of everything, and cannot find a remedy against anything.”
— Henryk Sienkiewicz, book Without Dogma
10 November
Without Dogma (1891)
Context: Formerly character proved a strong curb for passions; in the present there is not much strength in character, and it grows less and less because of the prevailing scepticism, which is a decomposing element. It is like a bacillus breeding in the human soul; it destroys the resistant power against the physiological craving of the nerves, of nerves diseased. The modern man is conscious of everything, and cannot find a remedy against anything.

He discovers forthwith, that he is without excuse.
