How young can you die of old age?

Summary

This quote poses a question regarding the concept of dying of old age at a young age. It likely reflects the idea that one's lifespan is not solely determined by their chronological age, but can be influenced by numerous factors such as health conditions, lifestyle choices, and genetic predispositions. Thus, this quote prompts us to reconsider the notion that dying of old age is exclusively a phenomenon observed in the elderly, as it acknowledges the possibility of premature aging and mortality.

Civilization can only revive when there shall come into being in a number of individuals a new tone of mind independent of the one prevalent among the crowd and in opposition to it, a tone of mind which will gradually win influence over the collective one, and in the end determine its character.
