"Money, career, success, work: they barely count when judging the meaning of life. Feeling is what fills a person, with good and bad, beautiful and ugly. And the mood floats like vapor on the surface of feelings and projects its changing colors onto everything around us. To our thoughts, our words, the rhythm of our speech, everything that belongs to us. And so to the world itself. Because it is true that everything that exists is alien to us, equally rigid materiality and survives us, humans. But as we see what is: it is from within us.

Money, career, success, work: they barely count when judging the meaning of life. Feeling is what fills a person, with good and bad, beautiful and ugly. And the mood floats like vapor on the surface of feelings and projects its changing colors onto everything around us. To our thoughts, our words, the rhythm of our speech, everything that belongs to us. And so to the world itself. Because it is true that everything that exists is alien to us, equally rigid materiality and survives us, humans. But as we see what is: it is from within us.
""Pénz, pálya, siker, munka: az élet értelmének elbírásánál alig is jönnek számba. Az érzés az, ami megtölti az embert, jóval és rosszal, széppel és csúnyával. S az érzések felszínén páraként lebeg a hangulat s váltakozó színeit rávetíti mindenre, ami körülöttünk van. Gondolatainkra, szavainkra, beszédünk ritmusára, mindenre, ami belőlünk való. És így magára a világra is. Mert igaz, hogy minden, ami van, idegen tőlünk, egyforma rideg anyagiság s túlél bennünket, embereket. De amilyennek látjuk azt, ami van: az belőlünk való."
