How many there are who would give themselves up to a sudden desire, to an hour-long, quick and stormy whim, to a momentary flutter of love, if they did not fear that this short and superficial happiness would be paid for with irreparable scandal and painful tears.
""Hányan vannak, akik átengednék magukat egy hirtelen vágynak, egy óráig tartó, gyorsan támadt és viharos szeszélynek, a szerelem pillanatnyi csapongásának, ha nem félnének attól, hogy ezt a rövid és felszínes boldogságot helyrehozhatatlan botránnyal és fájdalmas könnyekkel fizetik meg."
