Finally someone who has deliberately undergone [one’s] own destiny in all its tragedy will also detect more clearly and more rapidly the suffering of the other, even if [one] must go beyond it. [One] will not be able to mock strange feelings of any kind if [one] can take [one’s] own seriously. [One] will no longer go round the vicious circle of contempt.
