"We are cowards to our desires. (...) The world's table is set; the stock did not run out, only our desires dwindled. What a person longs for very much and with ordinary strength, he already has a little.

We are cowards to our desires. (...) The world's table is set; the stock did not run out, only our desires dwindled. What a person longs for very much and with ordinary strength, he already has a little.
"Hungarian
"Gyávák vagyunk a vágyainkhoz. (...) A világ asztala terítve van; nem a készlet fogyott el, csak vágyaink satnyultak. Amire az ember nagyon és ordenáré erővel vágyakozik, az már van egy kissé."
