"The "cultured West" (?) still thinks that we got all our culture and knowledge from them, and without them we would still be softening the "kaiserfleisch" under the saddle, although the truth is that they even shortened our language - not for themselves, but for humanity -, and we hatched the cuckoo eggs of foreign words with a good-faith stare, hatched them, and only now do we realize that the sweet children have reached the edge of the nest, if they have not fallen into the thicket of annihilation.

The "cultured West" (?) still thinks that we got all our culture and knowledge from them, and without them we would still be softening the "kaiserfleisch" under the saddle, although the truth is that they even shortened our language - not for themselves, but for humanity -, and we hatched the cuckoo eggs of foreign words with a good-faith stare, hatched them, and only now do we realize that the sweet children have reached the edge of the nest, if they have not fallen into the thicket of annihilation.
""A "művelt Nyugat" (?) úgyis azt hiszi, hogy minden kultúrát, tudást tőlük kaptunk, és nélkülük még nyereg alatt puhítanánk a "kaiserfleischt", holott az igazság az, hogy még a nyelvünket is megrövidítették - nem maguknak ugyan, de az enyészetnek -, és mi jóhiszemű bámulással kotlottunk az idegen szavak kakukktojásain, ki is költöttük őket, és csak most vesszük észre, hogy az édes gyerekek a fészek szélére kerültek, ha ugyan le nem zuhantak a megsemmisülés bozótjába."
