Isn't it enough that we can't make each other happy, do we rob even the joy that every heart can still get for itself from time to time? Show me a man who has a bad mood, and yet is so decent that he hides it, carries it alone, and does not destroy the joy around him! Or is it not rather annoyance at our own unworthiness, displeasure with ourselves, always combined with some envy, which in turn is incited by some foolish vanity? We see happy people who we didn't make happy, and it's unbearable.

Hungarian

"Nem elég, hogy nem tudjuk egymást boldoggá tenni, raboljuk el még azt az örömöt is, amelyet időnként minden szív meg tud még szerezni magának? Mutasson nekem embert, akinek rossz a kedve, és mégis olyan tisztességes, hogy elrejti, egymaga hordozza, és nem rombolja szét maga körül az örömöt! Vagy nem bosszankodás-e inkább a rosszkedv a saját méltatlan voltunkon, nemtetszés saját magunkkal szemben, egybekapcsolva mindig némi irigységgel, amelyet viszont valami ostoba hiúság uszít föl? Látunk boldog embereket, akiket nem mi tettünk boldoggá, és ez elviselhetetlen."
