"The faults of famous people are often greater than their virtues, that talent is as special a gift as a good eye and a good stomach, a gift that can only be utilized in the study room, a gift independent of everything else, nothing to do with that attractive combination of pleasant individual qualities that make warm human relationships create.

The faults of famous people are often greater than their virtues, that talent is as special a gift as a good eye and a good stomach, a gift that can only be utilized in the study room, a gift independent of everything else, nothing to do with that attractive combination of pleasant individual qualities that make warm human relationships create.
""A híres emberek hibái gyakran nagyobbak az erényeiknél, hogy a tehetség éppoly különleges adottság, mint a jó szem és a jó gyomor, csak a dolgozószobában hasznosítható, minden egyébtől független adottság, semmi köze a kellemes egyéni tulajdonságoknak ahhoz a vonzó együtteséhez, amely meleg emberi kapcsolatokat teremt."
