"Life rushes away in the death of a horse. Either we chase a running shadow, or we are chased, driven by some fear, ghost. But when we meet a friend, we stop, and now we consider our feverish rush to be great madness. Now we yearn for a break, for possession, and for the power to make the moment conceived from the bottom of our hearts last. In every noble relationship, the moment is everything.

""Az élet lóhalálában rohan el. Vagy futó árnyékot űzünk, vagy minket űz, hajt valami félelem, kísértet. Ám ha baráttal találkozunk, megállunk, s most nagy őrültségnek tartjuk lázas rohanásunkat. Most szünetelésre, birtoklásra vágyódunk s arra a hatalomra, hogy a szívünk mélyéből fölötlött pillanatot tartóssá tehessük. Minden nemes viszonyban a pillanat minden."
