"Why do people boast that they are so much more sensitive than animals? I think that makes it all the more essential. If our motives were limited to hunger, thirst and physical desires, we would almost be free, but this is how we are moved by every wind, a random word or scene, or what we think we can sense from this word.

Why do people boast that they are so much more sensitive than animals? I think that makes it all the more essential.

Ha a mi indítékaink csak éhségre, szomjúságra s testi vágyakra korlátozódnának, majdnem szabadok lennénk, de így megindít minden szél, egy véletlen szó vagy jelenet, avagy amit e szóból kiérezni vélünk."
