"All love begins to crack when the other begins to live his own sovereign life. He has work to do, he is not up to it, he is too kind to others, he starts thinking according to his own head and his own inner impulses, and we bump into the self-righteous world of a foreign soul. This process will become stronger and stronger, and if you meet your former love after ten years, you will look at him almost like a wild stranger. We think to ourselves: "Oh my God, what did I like about this?!" When a friend of mine in love cries that "I gave him everything, yet he left me!", I think: "You didn't give him the most important thing, his freedom! He felt in a cage with you, and this feeling poisoned his love."

All love begins to crack when the other begins to live his own sovereign life. He has work to do, he is not up to it, he is too kind to others, he starts thinking according to his own head and his own inner impulses, and we bump into the self-righteous world of a foreign soul. This process will become stronger and stronger, and if you meet your former love after ten years, you will look at him almost like a wild stranger. We think to ourselves: "Oh my God, what did I like about this?!" When a friend of mine in love cries that "I gave him everything, yet he left me!", I think: "You didn't give him the most important thing, his freedom! He felt in a cage with you, and this feeling poisoned his love."
""Minden szerelem akkor kezd repedezni, amikor a másik elkezdi a saját szuverén életét élni. Dolga van, nem ér rá, másokhoz is túlságosan kedves, saját feje és saját benső késztetései szerint kezd gondolkodni, s beleütközünk egy idegen lélek öntörvényű világába. Ez a folyamat egyre erősebb lesz, s ha az ember tíz év múlva találkozik egykori szerelmével, majdnem vadidegen ember néz rá. Azt gondoljuk magunkban: "Úristen, mit szerettem én ebben?!" Amikor egy szerelmes barátom zokog, hogy "mindenemet odaadtam neki, mégis elhagyott!", azt gondolom: "A legfontosabbat, a szabadságát nem adtad meg neki! Ketrecben érezte magát nálad, s ez az érzés megmérgezte a szerelmét.""
