609: Age And Truth

Young people love what is strange and interesting, regardless of whether it is true or false. More mature spirits love in truth what is strange and interesting in it. Heads fully mature, finally, love truth also where it appears plain and simple and is boring to ordinary people: they have noticed that truth is accustomed to impart its highest spiritual possessions with an air of simplicity.
