“Jeg innså dumhetens uvurderlige betydning for alt åndelig arbeide - den sunne, medfødte eller ervervede, firkantete, jernbeslåtte dumhet, som sikrer sin mann mot hvert gløtt utenom hans eget verk eller bakenom hans egne motiver. Å, du herlige, sterke, hardføre dumhet, vikingen blant menneskets dyder, som verner mot selverkjennelse, vantro, fortvilelse og andre skammelige synder og laster, og i steden føder og fremelsker allslags forfengelighet. Du er i sannhet grunnlaget for all flid og fremgang i det åndelige.”
