Hungarian

"Az a kívánság, mely mindenkiben él, hogy halála után emlékezzenek reá, s amely a nagyra törőknél a dicsőség vágyává fokozódik, úgy tetszik nekem, az élethez való ragaszkodásból származik, amely, ha a való létezésnek minden lehetőségétől elvágva látja magát, most a még egyedül lehetséges, bárha csak ideális létezés, tehát árnyék után nyúl."
