Everyone likes to talk about themselves (...). This is how charlatan soul divers make a lot of money. They get the patients to go to them and tell them about all kinds of things. How they fell out of the pram when they were two years old, how their mother ate the pear, the juice of which dripped onto her orange dress, how they pulled their father's beard when they were one and a half years old, and so on. And the charlatan tells them that they will no longer suffer from insomnia and asks for the money. The patient leaves, oh, he felt great, great - and maybe even sleeps well that day.

"Mindenki szeret magáról mesélni (...). Így csinálnak a sarlatán lélekbúvárok rengeteg pénzt. Ráveszik a pácienseket, hogy menjenek el hozzájuk, s meséljenek nekik mindenféléről. Hogyan estek ki a gyerekkocsiból kétéves korukban, hogy ette az anyjuk a körtét, amelynek a leve narancssárga ruhájára csorgott, hogy húzkodták másfél évesen az apjuk szakállát, és így tovább. A sarlatán pedig közli velük, hogy többé nem fognak álmatlanságban szenvedni, s elkéri a pénzt. A páciens elmegy, ó, nagyszerűen érezte magát, roppantul - s talán még jól is alszik aznap."
