Life comes only from life.

There is a time in every man's life when he looks to his God, when he looks at his life, when he wonders how he will be remembered.

And, furthermore, when any plastic nitrogenated substance is able to transform sugar into that acid, the reason is that it is a suitable nutrient for the growth of the [lactic] ferment.
