"You have to be careful about daydreams that take over. Daydreaming is mysterious and subtle, like fragrance. It is related to the thought as the fragrance is to the tube rose. Sometimes a toxic thought spreads and penetrates us like smoke. We can poison ourselves with both dreams and flowers. Intoxicating and classy, a terrible death. Wrong thinking is the suicide of the soul. Poisoning. Your fantasy attracts, flatters, deceives, entangles and in the end makes you an accomplice. He involves you in the game of the loser with a conscience. It charms you. Then it destroys you.

""Vigyázni kell az elhatalmasodó ábrándokra. Az ábrándozás titokzatos és finom, mint az illat. Úgy kapcsolódik a gondolathoz, mint az illat a tubarózsához. Egy mérgező gondolat néha szétterjeng és belénk hatol, mint a füst. Ábrándokkal és virágokkal egyaránt megmérgezhetjük magunkat. Kábító és előkelő, rettenetes halál. A téves gondolkodás a lélek öngyilkossága. Mérgezés. Az ábránd vonz, hízelkedik, csal, átfon s a végén bűntársává tesz. Bevon a lelkiismerettel űzött szemvényvesztő játékába. Elbájol. Aztán tönkretesz."
