---

To reject modern civilization and its culture utterly--to condemn its faults, sins, errors, and evils to the point of refusing to have anything more to do with it--is to end in nihilism. This helps no one, not even the nihilist. Nor are sensualism, drugs, or suicide ways out. Those who say that a man cannot keep his moral integrity, cannot honour his conscience and still take part in the present culture, are not right, though they are not entirely wrong.
