"There are quite a lot of lonely people in the world. It's like a snail or a clam, only it hides in its shell. This is perhaps some kind of atavism, a return to the time when man was not yet a social creature, but only lived alone in his cave.

There are quite a lot of lonely people in the world. It's like a snail or a clam, only it hides in its shell. This is perhaps some kind of atavism, a return to the time when man was not yet a social creature, but only lived alone in his cave.
"Hungarian
"Elég sok magános természetű ember van a világon. Olyan az, mint a csiga vagy kagyló, csak a maga héjába bújik. Ez talán valamiféle atavizmus, visszatérés abba az időbe, mikor az ember még nem volt társas lény, hanem csak egyedül élt a barlangjában."
