"Because it is true that you are a great sinner (...), your sin is particularly great because you have sacrificed and thrown yourself there to no avail. Wouldn't that be an abomination? Don't I hate that you live in filth, when you hate filth so much, and you yourself know (you only have to open your eyes) that you are not benefiting anyone, you are not exempting anyone from anything?

""Mert hogy igen nagy bűnös vagy, az igaz (...), kivált azért nagy a bűnöd, mert haszontalanul áldoztad fel és dobtad oda magadat. Ez ne volna förtelem? Nem förtelem, hogy mocsokban élsz, mikor annyira gyűlölöd a mocskot, és magad is tudod (csak a szemedet kell kinyitni), hogy senkinek nem használsz ezzel, senkit semmitől meg nem mentesz?"
