If the fine arts are not closely or distantly related to moral ideals - which is generally liked - then they can only be used for the purpose of entertainment, for which a person becomes the more thirsty, the more often he uses it in order to drive away his soul's disobedience to itself; but man thus becomes even more useless and even more dissatisfied.

Hungarian

"Ha a szépművészetek akár közelebbi, akár távolabbi vonatkozásba nem kerülnek erkölcsi eszmékkel - ami általános tetszést arat - akkor csak a szórakozás célját használhatják, amire annál szomjasabbá válik az ember, mennél többször használja avégből, hogy lelkének önmagával való engedetlenségét elűzze vele; de az ember így még haszontalanabb és még elégedetlenebb lesz."
