Basically, no matter how we look at it, we are all collective beings. After all, how little is our own property in the true sense of the word! We all have to receive and learn from those who lived before us and also from those who are our contemporaries. Even the greatest firebrand wouldn't get very far if he wanted to draw everything from his own inner self.

Hungarian

"Alapjában véve, akárhogyan nézzük is, mindannyian kollektív lények vagyunk. Hiszen milyen kevés az, ami bennünk a szó igazi értelmében saját tulajdonunk! Mindannyiunknak kapnia kell és tanulnia azoktól, akik előttünk éltek, és azoktól is, akik kortársaink. Még a legnagyobb lángelme sem vinné sokra, ha mindent saját bensőjéből akarna meríteni."
