"Despair is a cold calculator. He insists on the total amount. Nothing escapes his attention. It adds up to everything, and doesn't leave a single cent out of the calculation. He asks God to account for lightning strikes and needlesticks. You want to know what to do with your degree. He looks, weighs, calculates. On the outside, it is gloomy and cold, but underneath there is foaming fiery lava.

Despair is a cold calculator. He insists on the total amount. Nothing escapes his attention. It adds up to everything, and doesn't leave a single cent out of the calculation. He asks God to account for lightning strikes and needlesticks. You want to know what to do with your degree. He looks, weighs, calculates. On the outside, it is gloomy and cold, but underneath there is foaming fiery lava.
""A kétségbeesés hideg számító. Ragaszkodik a végösszeghez. Semmi sem kerüli el a figyelmét. Mindent összead, egy garast sem enged el a számadásból. Számon kéri Istentől a villámcsapásokat és a tűszúrásokat. Tudni akarja, mihez tartsa magát a végzettel. Tűnődik, mérlegel, számol. Külsőleg komor, hideg, de alatta tüzes láva habzik."
