You can't judge someone from a snapshot. But not even from a whole life. Because you don't know where he came from and where he's going - what he brought with him and what he's taking away. If you don't know where a soul is going, only what it is like right now, you know nothing about it. If you don't see the future person in a seed, and what kind of seeds are ripening in the person - what do you know about it? If you don't know who you will be, what do you know about yourself? Very little.

Hungarian

"Egy pillanatképből nem lehet megítélni senkit. De még egy egész életből sem. Mert nem tudod, honnan jött és hová megy - mit hozott magával s mit visz el. Ha nem tudod, merre megy egy lélek, csak azt, hogy éppen most milyen, semmit sem tudsz róla. Ha egy magban nem látod a leendő embert, s az emberben, hogy milyen magokat érlel magában - mit tudsz róla? Ha nem tudod, kivé leszel, mit tudsz magadról? Nagyon keveset."
