Friendship is different and our attraction to women is different, although both come from free choice. The fire of love, I confess, is fiercer, more burning, and more corrosive; but this is an adventurous and fleeting fire, undulating and snarling; the fire of fever, which rises and falls and only stays at the tip of our suba. The warmth of friendship is crumbling, moderate, and evenly warm; constant, sweet and melting temperature, not hot and not suffocating.

Hungarian

"Más a barátság és más a nők iránt érzett vonzódásunk, bár mindkettő szabad válasz­tásból jő. A szerelem tüze, megvallom, he­vesebb, égetőbb és maróbb; ámde kalandos és röpke tűz ez, hullámzó és csapodár; a láz tüze, mely emelkedik és esik s csak a subánk csücskénél tart. A barátság melege omló, mérsékelt és egyenletesen meleg; ál­landó, édes és olvatag hőmérséklet, nem for­róság és nem fojtogat."
