"Destitutes cannot talk about their great sacrifices to women who live in a luxurious, elegant world. These women look at the world through a prism that paints both people and things as cute. (...) Immersed in beauty, they are indifferent to misfortune. In their eyes, a penny never means a million, but a million is easily counted as a penny.

Destitutes cannot talk about their great sacrifices to women who live in a luxurious, elegant world. These women look at the world through a prism that paints both people and things as cute. (...) Immersed in beauty, they are indifferent to misfortune. In their eyes, a penny never means a million, but a million is easily counted as a penny.
""A nyomorgók nem beszélhetnek az ő nagy áldozataikról azoknak az asszonyoknak, akik fényűző, elegáns világban élnek. Ezek a nők olyan prizmán keresztül nézdegélik a világot, mely aranyosra fest embereket és dolgokat egyaránt. (...) Gyönyörökbe merülve, közönyösek a szerencsétlenséggel szemben. A fillér szemükben sohasem jelent milliót, de a milliót viszont könnyen fillérszámba veszik."
