"You always find new friends, but you don't have to be with them day after day. If, on the other hand, we always see the same people - like in the seminar, for example - then in the end they become a part of our lives. And if they become a part of our lives, eventually they even want to have a say in our lives. And if we don't behave according to their idea, they get angry. Because everyone knows exactly how the others should live. In contrast, they never know how to live themselves.

""Az ember mindig új barátokra lel, ugyanakkor nem kell velük lennie nap nap után. Ha viszont mindig ugyanazokat az embereket látjuk - mint például a szemináriumban -, akkor a végén az életünk részévé válnak. És ha az életünk részévé válnak, végül még bele is akarnak szólni az életünkbe. Hogyha pedig nem viselkedünk az elképzelésük szerint, megharagszanak. Ugyanis mindenki pontosan tudja, hogyan kell élnie a többieknek. Ezzel szemben soha nem tudják, hogyan éljenek ők maguk."
