After puberty the personality develops impetuously and all extraneous intervention becomes odious. . . . Now it so happens that parents feel the responsibility towards their children precisely during this second period, when it is too late.

Summary

This quote suggests that after reaching puberty, individuals go through a rapid and independent development of their personality. During this time, any interference or meddling from parents or other external sources can become distasteful or unwanted. It points out that parents often feel a sense of responsibility towards their children during this phase when their influence is already limited, indicating that parents may not fully understand the importance of intervening earlier in their child's life.
