We never adapt to the present. We appreciate the future more, we feel as if it is coming too slowly, we want to speed up its occurrence. At the same time, we recall the past, we want to hold it back, we think it passes very quickly... Anyone who examines their thoughts notices that they only deal with the past or the future. We hardly think about our present, even then only as if we want to find out what we will do in the future. In fact, we never really live, we only hope that we will still live.

Hungarian

"Sohasem igazodunk a jelenhez. Jobban értékeljük a jövőt, úgy érezzük, mintha túl lassan jönne el, szeretnénk meggyorsítani a bekövetkeztét. Ugyanakkor a múltat idézzük, szeretnénk feltartóztatni, szerintünk nagyon gyorsan múlik el... Aki átvizsgálja a gondolatait, észreveszi, hogy azok csak a múlttal vagy a jövővel foglalkoznak. Alig gondolunk a jelenünkre, akkor is csak olyanformán, mintha azt akarnánk kideríteni, hogy mit is teszünk majd a jövőben. Tulajdonképp sohasem élünk igazán, csak reménykedünk, hogy majd még élünk."
