Our imaginations love to zoom in. I myself have been quite healthy most of my life; I was almost drained of vitality and frolicking like a colt. In this flowery, festive state, I suffered terribly from all ailments; when I got sick, I didn't even feel its sting so much, and my fear seemed almost like a nightmare. I have experienced every day: when the fire in the fireplace crackles in my room and the stormy night roars outside, I think with pity of those who are struggling outside; but if I'm stuck outside myself, I almost don't want to stay under a roof.

Hungarian

"Képzeletünk szereti a felnagyítást. Jóma­gam életem java részében makkegészséges voltam; szinte kicsattantam az életerőtől s ficánkoltam, mint a csikó. Ebben a virá­gos, ünnepi állapotban szörnyen viszolyogtam minden betegségtől; mikor aztán meg­betegedtem, tüskéjét nem is éreztem oly na­gyon szúrósnak, s félelmem szinte rémlátás­nak tűnt. Nap mint nap tapasztaltam: ha szobámban pattog a kandalló tüze s oda­kint viharos éjszaka zúg, szánakozva gondolok azokra, akik a szabadban küszködnek; de ha magam is kívül rekedtem, szinte nem is kívánkozom tető alá."
