      Die von der psychologischen Allerweltsweisheit bemerkte Affinität von Askese und Rausch, die Haßliebe von Heiligen und Huren hat den objektiv triftigen Grund, daß die Askese der Erfüllung mehr von ihrem Recht gibt als die kulturelle Abschlagszahlung.
      The affinity between asceticism and euphoria, noted by the humdrum wisdom of psychology, the love-hate between saints and whores, has the objectively valid ground, that asceticism accords to fulfillment more of its rights than cultural installment-payments.
