"If you listen to a person with a mental "stethoscope", you are sometimes alarmed to find that they do not have a heartbeat. He has no God. Not in a religious sense, but in a deeper, metaphysical sense: he has lost contact with the center of his being and, left to himself, spins around his puffed-up self without a center. He detached himself not only from himself, but also from the whole. Shooting star. It crashes into the ground and destroys everything around it. Such is the heartless man.

If you listen to a person with a mental "stethoscope", you are sometimes alarmed to find that they do not have a heartbeat. He has no God. Not in a religious sense, but in a deeper, metaphysical sense: he has lost contact with the center of his being and, left to himself, spins around his puffed-up self without a center. He detached himself not only from himself, but also from the whole. Shooting star. It crashes into the ground and destroys everything around it. Such is the heartless man.
""Ha lelki "sztetoszkóppal" hallgatózol egy-egy emberbe, riadtan tapasztalod néha, hogy nincs szívhangja. Nincs Istene. Nem vallási, hanem mélyebb, metafizikai értelemben: elvesztette kapcsolatát lényének középpontjával, és magára hagyatva, centrum nélkül pörög a püffedt énje körül. Levált nemcsak önmagáról, de az egészről is. Zuhanó csillag. Belecsapódik a földbe, s magával együtt mindent elpusztít maga körül. Ilyen a szívtelen ember."
