Cowards never allow their hearts to be set on fire (...) by the fire, because they only want the new situation to change back to the way it was as quickly as possible, and they can continue to think in the usual way. However, the brave throw it into the fire, which is old, and even at the cost of enormous inner suffering, they leave everything behind, (...) and move on, forward.
""A gyávák sosem engedik, hogy lángra lobbantsa szívüket (...) a tűz, mert ők csak arra vágynak, hogy az új helyzet a lehető leggyorsabban visszaváltozzék olyanná, amilyen volt, és ők továbbra is a szokásos módon gondolkodhassanak. A bátrak azonban tűzre vetik, ami régi, és akár óriási belső szenvedés árán is, mindent maguk mögött hagynak, (...) és haladnak tovább, előre."
