Desire for someone is caused by a sweet and terrifying force greater than beauty. We come across a woman, among thousands, and as soon as she's ours, we can't bear to leave her, we always need her, and we want her again and again. It is the ashes of his flesh that cause this incurable love trouble. And something else that is unspeakable: the soul of his body.

Hungarian

"Hogy vágyunk valakire, azt egy édes és félelmetes erő okozza, amely hatalmasabb a szépségnél. Ráakadunk egy asszonyra, ezer meg ezer között, s mihelyt a miénk lett, nem bírjuk többé elhagyni, mindig kell nekünk, s újra meg újra megkívánjuk. Húsának a hamva az, ami ezt a gyógyíthatatlan szerelmi bajt előidézi. S még másvalami is, ami megmondhatatlan: testének a lelke."
