Summary

This quote suggests that a life filled solely with intense passion and excitement is unrealistic and unsustainable. Comparing it to a continuous earthquake or an eternal fever implies that the constant extreme emotions would be chaotic and overwhelming. Additionally, the mention of shaving in such a state suggests that one would not be able to properly maintain oneself when consumed by overpowering passion. The quote highlights the idea that a balance of calmness and moderation is important in life, rather than constantly seeking intense experiences.

The tragedy is that we cannot believe the dogmas of religion

The tragedy is that we cannot believe the dogmas of religion and metaphysics if we have the strict methods of truth in heart and head, but on the other hand, we have become through the development of humanity so tenderly suffering that we need the highest kind of means of salvation and consolation: whence arises the danger that man may bleed to death through the truth that he realises.
