"Old people always cling to life more than children and part with it more reluctantly than young people. After all, all their work was for this life, so in the end they feel that their efforts have been wasted. All their worries, all their possessions, all the fruits of their busy, sleepless nights, they leave everything here when they leave. In their lives, they never thought of acquiring something that they could take with them to death.

Old people always cling to life more than children and part with it more reluctantly than young people. After all, all their work was for this life, so in the end they feel that their efforts have been wasted.

""Az öregek mindig jobban ragaszkodnak az élethez, mint a gyerekek, és kelletlenebbül válnak meg tőle, mint a fiatalok. Hiszen minden munkájuk ennek az életnek szólt, ezért a végén úgy érzik, hogy kárba veszett a fáradozásuk. Minden gondjukat, minden javukat, dolgos, álmatlan éjszakáik minden gyümölcsét, mindenüket itt hagyják, amikor elmennek. Életükben nem gondoltak arra, hogy olyasmit is szerezzenek, amit magukkal vihetnének a halálba."
