Card-H-50-05 Reading Hocking, Human Nature
DH commenting on Hocking: “Youth must tear down beliefs absorbed during his subordination to authority — & rebuild for himself. Youth has been attached to universe through the mental veins of its authorities; now it must win attachment of its own. Old structure not wholly abandoned, but must be hypothetically abandoned. That to which one returns is no longer another’s, but one’s own. Originality not measured by amount of change, but by depth of this re-thinking.”
Card-H-50-08. Reading Hocking.
DH: “There is not much hope for the young man who becomes a respectable citizen at an early age. On the other hand, to prolong the larval stage unduly is just as bad. The rebel who remains a rebel too long has failed to grow up.”
