"And if a misfortune befalls us, which we can no longer change, we must not even think that it could have happened otherwise; even less about how we could have prevented it, because that would make the pain unbearable, we would become our own torturers.

And if a misfortune befalls us, which we can no longer change, we must not even think that it could have happened otherwise; even less about how we could have prevented it, because that would make the pain unbearable, we would become our own torturers.
""Ha pedig szerencsétlenség ért bennünket, amelyen többé nem változtathatunk, még gondolnunk sem szabad rá, hogy másképp is történhetett volna; még kevésbé arra, hogy miképp háríthattuk volna el, mert ez elviselhetetlenné tenné a fájdalmat, magunk kínzójává válnánk."
