Quote

Having learnt to walk, why not be satisfied to walk? No! He must climb and to do so must grasp something with his hand and pull himself up. This is no longer a grasping to possess, but grasping with a desire to go up. It is an exercise of strength, and there is a whole period of this exercise of strength.
