"Oh, the miserable guilty innocents! For they lack something, a need that every one of them must have felt: a real educational institution, which could give them goals, masters, methods, companions; and from the midst of which the invigorating and uplifting breath of the true German spirit would inspire them. OH THE MISERABLE GUILTY INNOCENCE FOR THEY LACK SOMETHING A NEED THAT EVERY ONE OF THEM MUST HAVE A REAL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION WHICH COULD GIVE THEM GOALS MASTERS METHODS COMPANIONS AND FROM THE MIDST OF WHICH THE INVIGORATING AND UPLIFTING BREATH OF THE TRUE GERMAN SPIRIT WOULD INSPIRE THEM

How else can we do justice to our learned men, who pay untiring attention to, and even co-operate in the journalistic corruption of the people, how else than by the acknowledgment that their learning must fill a want of their own similar to that filled by novel-writing in the case of others: _i.e._ a flight from one's self, an ascetic extirpation of their cultural impulses, a desperate attempt to annihilate their own individuality. From our degenerate literary art, as also from that itch for scribbling of our learned men which has now reached such alarming proportions, wells forth the same sigh: Oh that we could forget ourselves! The attempt fails: memory, not yet suffocated by the mountains of printed paper under which it is buried, keeps on repeating from time to time: 'A degenerate man of culture! Born for culture and brought up to non-culture! Helpless barbarian, slave of the day, chained to the present moment, and thirsting for something--ever thirsting!
