There I feel transports--passions, which give me sometimes great joy, sometimes inexpressible suffering.

I burn to discover a world--to save a nation--to love a queen! I understand nothing but great ambitions and noble alliances, and as for sentimental love, it troubles me but little.
My activity pants for a nobler and a wider field! "I intend to attach myself to one of the great social parties, political or religious, that agitate the world at this era.

Which one I know not yet, for my opinions are not very fixed.

But as soon as I leave college I shall devote myself to seeking the truth.

And truth is easily found.
