"

Our daily behavior is guided by the whims of our desires, right, left, up, down, according to where the wind of the occasion blows; we only know what we want at the moment of demand, and we are as changeable as that particular animal that adapts to the color of its environment. Where we decide something, where we drop it; other times we fall back on it: full of fluctuations and inconsistency. We don't go, we drift like what the water carries: sometimes gently, sometimes wildly, depending on whether the price is angry or quiet.

Hungarian

"Köznapi magatartásunkat vágyaink szi­matja irányítja, jobbra, balra, föl, alá, asze­rint, hogy az alkalom szele honnan fú; csak a megkívánás pillanatában tudjuk, hogy mit akarunk, s oly változékonyak vagyunk, mint az a bizonyos állat, amely környezetének színéhez alkalmazkodik. Hol elhatározunk valamit, hol elejtjük; máskor meg vissza­pártolunk hozzá: csupa ingadozás, követke­zetlenség. Nem megyünk, hanem sodródunk, mint amit visz a víz: olykor szelíden, olykor vadul, aszerint, hogy az ár haragos-e vagy csöndes."
