There is a kind of estrangement that marks the peak of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And since existence is a paradoxical thing, this alienation comes to us when our life is burning most fiercely, and at the same time it makes us completely forget that we are alive. This alienation captures the artist, it makes him forget that he is alive when his whole being is engulfed in a flame.

Hungarian

"Van egy fajta önkívület, amely az élet csúcsát jelzi, s amelynél magasabbra nem emelkedhetik az élet. S mivel a létezés paradox dolog, ez az önkívület akkor tör reánk, amikor életünk a leghevesebben lángol, és ugyanakkor tökéletesen elfeledteti velünk, hogy élünk. Ez az önkívület fogja el a művészt, ez feledteti el vele, hogy él, amikor egész lénye belevész egy láng lobogásába."
