Money eats up all noble ideas, defeats religious faith, artistic conviction, all culture, love - even love. Anyone gives you their attention, their nice words, their kindness, even their body - but if you need money, they immediately ask for it, and even if they give it, they write down the forints in their memory and involuntarily calculate the interest.

Hungarian

"A pénz minden nemes eszmét fölemészt, legyőzi a vallásos hitet, a művészi meggyőződést, minden kultúrát, szeretetet - még a szerelmet is. Bárki neked adja figyelmét, szép szavait, jóságát, még a testét is - de ha pénzre van szükséged, azonnal felszisszen, s ha ad is, emlékezetében a forintokat felírja, s önkéntelenül kiszámítja a kamatokat is."
