In one bright moment, man wants to stop Time, which does not move, but rotates with us in an expanding or even narrowing circle, as if we were sitting on a Ferris wheel: we shine above, we feel the proximity of the Sun and the stars, and then we sink again into the depths, faith , into the depths of the loss of strength and self-confidence, which St. John of the Cross calls: the dark night of the soul.

Hungarian

"Az ember egy-egy fényes pillanatában szeretné megállítani az Időt, amely nem halad, hanem táguló, vagy éppen szűkülő körben forog velünk, mintha óriáskeréken ülnénk: fent kifényesedünk, megérezzük a Nap és a csillagok közelségét, s aztán újra lemerülünk a mélybe, a hit, az erő és az önbizalom elvesztésének mélyébe, amelyet Keresztes Szent János úgy nevez: a lélek sötét éjszakája."
