"

The artist of life never orients himself towards the extremes, always towards the middle. He would rather make peace than go to war. He would rather stop than go overboard. Even in the most passionate love, he stops at the boundary of his own being and waits for the other to get there. He does not trespass on his property. And he doesn't drag her over to him.

Hungarian

"Az élet művésze sohasem a végletek, mindig a közép felé tájékozódik. Inkább kiegyezik, minthogy háborúzzon. Inkább előbb megáll, minthogy túllépjen. Még a legszenvedélyesebb szerelmében is megáll saját lényének telekhatáránál, és bevárja, míg a másik odaér. Nem gázol a birtokára. És nem rántja át magához."
