If you want to examine an individual person, everyone can easily object, but the objection is fair, I just can't go into it now: Well, if you want to understand the person, you have to wait until they have changed their teeth, until they have become that old. Of course, you have to wait for the individual person if you want to understand them. But you know, science is not achieved through individual observations alone, but by applying what is observed in one case to the general case. And now you have to try to recognize how certain peculiarities of the soul present themselves during these years. And if one were to undertake a kind of amalgamation of the qualities in the first twenty years and the qualities in the second thirty years up to the forty-second and forty-third years and form an idea of what the soul life is in these years, then one comes to the conclusion that in the girl, until the teeth change, it presses into the physical. The way in which the physical configures itself, how it forms plastically, within which the soul lives and works, is only revealed in later years as a soul configuration in the manner indicated.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"14.

Gewiß, für den einzelnen Menschen muß man ja auch warten, wenn man ihn verstehen will. Aber Sie wissen ja, Wissenschaft wird nicht bloß durch einzelne Beobachtungen erlangt, sondern dadurch, daß das, was in einem Falle beobachtet wird, auf das Allgemeine übertragen wird. Und nun muß man versuchen zu erkennen, wie gewisse Eigentümlichkeiten der Seele in der angedeuteten Art in diesen Jahren sich seelisch darleben. Und wenn man gewissermaßen — es ist ein grobes Wort, das ich dafür gebrauche — eine Art von Zusammenmischung der Eigenschaften in den ersten zwanziger Jahren und der Eigenschaften in den zweiten dreißiger Jahren bis zum zweiundvierzigsten, dreiundvierzigsten Jahre vornimmt und sich eine Vorstellung bildet, was das seelische Leben in diesen Jahren ist, dann kommt man darauf, daß sich das beim Mädchen bis zum Zahnwechsel hin in das Körperliche hineinpreßt, drängt.
